DIRECTORS' REPORT

‘The universe is constantly expanding, and so are we!’

Ever since the dawn of humanity, there has been a constant drive to expand horizons: culturally, technologically, and spiritually. We, 63 moons technologies limited, have also echoed this sentiment, and strived to expand our horizons. We have always endeavoured to maximise our potential and have now also entered the realm of emerging technologies.

In the modern era, human civilisation is looking towards Mars as a potential habitat, which might sound like science fiction, but truth is often stranger than fiction. Similarly, we are also looking beyond. And it is our truth of being indomitable that propels us forward and instils in us the confidence, determination, and hope to successfully expand our horizons.

We have been exploring the exciting world of Web 3.0 through our venture, 3.0 verse, by leveraging opportunities in Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML), Metaverse, and more. Parallelly, we anticipated the humungous opportunity in the cybersecurity world and realised the need to protect individuals, enterprises, and the nation against ever-evolving cyber threats, and therefore, ventured into the much-needed cybersecurity arena with 63SATS.

| 2 |

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

In the realm of cybersecurity, 63SATS has one clear objective – to ensure that our clients realise their business vision seamlessly, eclipsing the myriad cyber threats that threaten their aspirations. To meet this objective and establish a new benchmark in the cybersecurity domain, we created the ultimate tech stack for digital security, combining a team of toptier professionals and state-of-the-art technologies to set up a robust cybersecurity force.

In a world often obsessed with immediate gains and instant gratification, we've always chosen the path less travelled – the path of patience and perseverance that has led us to prosperity. While expanding our horizons, we have prioritised cultivating the right people, following the right processes, and crafting the right products for enduring success. We firmly believe that true prosperity isn't measured by short-term spikes but by the resilience of roots that ultimately bear fruits. As a result, we invest in our ventures with a steadfast focus on long-term year-on-year growth. This calming outlook helps us fuel our journey towards expanding horizons.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Letter From CHAIRMAN’S DESK

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

It is with immense pride and great pleasure that I present to you the letter from the Chairman’s Desk for this year’s annual report. As we switch lanes from last year’s theme of being ‘Indomitable’ to this year’s theme of ‘Expanding Horizons’, we imagine a future of your company, which is perfectly in-sync with this outlook.

We, as a company, are grateful for your unwavering support throughout the years with which we conquered the financial markets by providing world-class technological solutions. This, eventually, led us to becoming indomitable and expanding our horizons.

With every tick of the clock, the technological world changes drastically, presenting us with unknown challenges. Reflecting on our impeccable track record, we strive to provide relevant solutions to these challenges. Our journey has empowered ourselves to lead the way of evolution and exploration of new-age technologies, such as Web 3.0, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Cybersecurity, etc. We firmly believe that our

indomitable spirit, powered by your support, will position us as trailblazers in expanding horizons, charting a path for others to follow.

The groundwork for expanding horizons was laid last year itself with our 3.0 verse global super app. For instance, 3.0 verse tackled existing industry problems by offering solutions such as creating tradable digital tokens using the secured blockchain technology, increased liquidity and reduced transaction costs, and fractional ownership. 3.0 university created timely courses, for example, those focused on Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity by partnering with industry experts. And 3.0 tv played a crucial role in keeping the viewers across the globe updated about everything that happened in the Web 3.0 and emerging technologies ecosystem.

Your company has always redefined the directional change, from starting as a product company to becoming an exchange company and now an emerging-technologies company. Like always, we are proud and confident in our dedicated and

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

VENKAT CHARY Chairman

talented team to help us achieve never-seenbefore success in these fields. Their tireless efforts and unwavering commitment drive our innovation, inspiring us to take on new endeavours. Every breakthrough we achieve is a testament to their brilliance and perseverance. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone that has walked this uncharted path with us over the past year and to those who continue to stand firm with us shoulder-toshoulder as we set out to expand horizons.

Having tested waters with emerging technologies like Blockchain, our foray into Cybersecurity with 63SATS and the act of leveraging franchising models for it and 3.0 university is a testament to our goal of expanding horizons. The enthusiasm displayed by the stakeholders of this ecosystem regarding our seminars and roadshows held across the country during the last year validates our belief in the potential of the emerging technologies to redefine paradigms. Undoubtedly, this is the future.

Reflecting on our reputation of being a High-IP company rather than a Quarter-to-Quarter company and our expertise in these emerging technologies, we are confident that this competent foundation will reflect positively in the next financial year.

I would like to end this correspondence by reiterating the fact that your support has been, is, and will continue to be, immensely valuable in propelling our collective energies in a direction that will expand horizons. We are looking forward to exploring new opportunities in the new digital world.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

Amidst the challenges faced by the global economy, the Indian economy remained resilient on the back of strong macroeconomic fundamentals. The upturn in capital expenditure by the public and the private sectors, and a broad-based revival in manufacturing and services sectors, upbeat business, and consumer sentiments, have been some of the prominent factors supporting the witnessed resilience on domestic front.

The untamed spirit exhibited by the Indian economy is commendable even as the world economy is reeling under supply-shocks of yesteryears caused by Covid-led crisis and geopolitical tensions due to continuing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Global economy witnessed mixed environment on account of continual and overlapping shocks amidst unprecedented monetary tightening during the past year, as the growth in the US and several major emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) has held up better than expected. Sectoral overview exhibits that the manufacturing activities have remained calm and slow, while services showed vigor.

During the period under review, headline inflation softened across countries although the decline in core and services inflation has been quite slow emanating from continuing tight labour markets. Major central banks in Advanced Economies have kept policy rates on hold to ensure the aligning of inflation with their respective targets. Global financial markets remained volatile in response to fluctuating perceptions about the stance of the monetary policy, and the fund flows based on market dynamics.

Among the energy sector, crude oil prices which remained softened, largely reflecting weak global economic demand, during the first half of FY24, and rose sharply during the later part of the year in response to cuts in oil supplies by Saudi Arabia and Russia, and the onset of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023.

Sharp rise in prices of food, metals and other essential commodities kept driving the consumer price inflation across the globe during 2023. Core inflation ruled above target in most inflation-targeting Advanced Economies and in about half of inflation-targeting in EMDEs, and despite the orchestrated efforts by central banks, globally, prices remained elevated, while goods inflation exhibited a notable stickiness despite remedial measures undertaken by governments world-over to mitigate the inflationary pressure. Services inflation, too, remained high, contributing to persistent price pressures.

On the whole, in the near-term inflation expectations have fallen in major economies, with long-term expectations remaining anchored. According to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) World Economic Outlook (WEO) of April 2024, global inflation is projected to fall from 6.8% in 2023 to 5.8% in 2024 and is expected to further drop to 4.4%, which may align with the broad targets of the central banks in 2025.

Keeping in mind the current economic scenario along with continued focus to bring inflation under control in the near term, global economic growth projections for the medium term have been revised by various international agencies. In its latest World Economic Outlook Report, IMF has estimated global growth at 3.1% in 2023, and is projected to continue at the same pace in 2024, and in 2025, it is likely to look upward at 3.2%. A word of caution is needed as the new commodity price spikes amid regional conflicts, persistent inflation and financial stress, faltering China’s recovery, debt distress, and intensifying geo-economic fragmentation leading to disruptions to global supply-chains, are the other major down-side risks to global economic growth.

INDIAN ECONOMY

Indian economic activities, during the year, were supported by an upturn in the investment cycle on the back of the government’s continued thrust on capital expenditure, alongside higher capacity utilization and the underlying resilience seen in the service sector. Besides the double-

| 44 |

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

digit credit growth registered, and healthier corporate and bank balance sheets provided the necessary fillip to the economic activities, as also, a bolstered business confidence has helped put up a good show.

The IMF has revised upwards India’s real GDP growth forecast for 2024 by 30 basis points (bps) to 6.8% in its April 2024 Outlook compared to its previous Outlook in January 2024. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in its recent monetary policy, has projected real GDP growth for FY24 at 7.6% and FY25 at 7.0%, based on strengthening of rural demand, improving employment conditions, moderating inflationary pressures and sustained momentum in manufacturing and services sector. Going forward, these factors are expected to boost private consumption in the urban and rural areas. The prospects of rising investment activity, too, remain bright owing to upturn in the private capex cycle becoming steadily broad-based, persisting, and robust government capital expenditure, healthy balance sheets of banks and corporates, rising capacity utilization, and strengthening business optimism are expected to provide the necessary support the brisk economic activities.

With the improving global growth and trade prospects, coupled with India’s rising integration in global supply chains and the expected force based on the external demand for India’s exports, the domestic economy looks to better its performance. However, downside factors from the headwinds such as protracted geopolitical tensions and global financial market volatility, impact on agriculture due to adverse climatic conditions, oil shocks, etc., pose risks to the general positive economic outlook.

India’s inflationary trends as exhibited by the CPI inflation had moderated from an average of 6.7% in 2022-23 to 5.4% in 2023-24 in response to monetary policy actions and supply side measures. Sporadic food price shocks continue to impart significant volatility to the inflation trajectory, with headline inflation rising sharply due to spikes in vegetable prices. Core inflation has, however, been on a steadily declining path.

Headline inflation dynamics of the second half of FY24 were broadly shaped by the interplay between volatile food price momentum and base effects, and trends are expected to moderate and enter the RBI’s target range. Inflation trajectory for FY25 would be shaped by both domestic and global factors and expectations remain largely range bound with gradual cooling.

Amidst the global challenges, India’s outlook for the external sector stayed quite resilient. The current account deficit (CAD) narrowed to 1.1% of GDP in Q1 of FY24 from 2.1% of GDP in the corresponding period of the previous year on the back of lower merchandise trade deficit, higher net surplus in services exports and robust inward remittances. Given the rapid pace of economic activities,

the CAD is expected to be around 1% of GDP in FY24 and will be a tad up to 1.2% for FY25 on the back of an improvement in net services trade and an increase in net transfer receipts.

OUTLOOK FOR 2024-25

Leaving aside the risk factors emerging from the RussiaUkraine and Israel-Hamas wars, and their impact on supply-chains of crude oil and other commodities worldwide, we look forward to a benign price trend leading to a moderate economic growth globally, and a similar scenario is expected in the domestic economy. We hope that with peace reigning over the world, more brisk economic activities will lead the global economy to a higher level of economic growth with cheaper funds made available for the business activities by the central bankers opening the doors of treasury with easy interest rate policy.

With the new NDA-led government properly set in the saddle, we look forward to major economic reforms that would help bolster investor and business confidence, which, in turn, shall drive economic growth. Also, a similar conducive business environment is expected world-over, especially post-US elections that are scheduled towards the end of 2024.

NEW VISION MDA

With our pursuit for technological advancements and innovations, we are gearing up to enter the space of emerging technologies that would help enrich the economic agents. With newer technologies such as Web3, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology, among others, we have taken the step ahead for broadening the horizon, which promises to take the stakeholders of 63 moons technologies to soar to greater heights.

EMPHASIS OF MATTERS

  1.

During the resolution process, Hon’ble NCLAT has approved the Revised Distribution Framework proposed by the New Board for interim distribution. The Company without prejudice to its rights had impaired the investment for the expected credit loss by ₹ 11,636.55 lakhs till 31 March, 2023 and has written off above-mentioned amounts in respective years.

  2. We draw attention to Note 44 to the Standalone Financial Statements which describes Company’s investment of Rs. 30,000 Lakhs (face value) in 9% Yes Bank Perpetual Additional Tier I (AT-1) bonds. The hon’ble Bombay High Court has quashed and set aside the letter dated 14 March, 2020 issued by the Administrator, Yes Bank and decision to write off Additional Tier 1 bonds.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements taken as a whole; in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Apart from ‘Basis for qualified opinion’ we have determined the key audit matters as described below:

  • A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments

  • B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer

  • C. Contingent liabilities

A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments

Description of key audit matter

The Company has investments net of provision of Rs. 75,158.58 Lakhs as at 31 March, 2024 consisting of investments in the equity instruments of subsidiaries, third party bonds, mutual funds, other equity instruments etc. and are valued as per Ind AS 109, “Financial instruments”. By their nature, these are subjected to various factors related to respective investee entities including but not limited to, economic factors, business dynamics, financial performance etc. and impact a fair valuation of these investments. Accordingly, this necessitates a close monitoring by the management of these situations and judgement, based on appropriate evaluation criteria to arrive at a fair value of carrying amounts of these assets as at balance sheet date. Against this background, this matter was of significance in the context of our audit.

Description of Auditor response

We have carried out a comparison between carrying value of investment as at balance sheet date and net worth as reflected by latest audited financials of investee companies. Wherever carrying amount of investment is more than the net-worth of investee Company we have discussed and enquired with the management the process followed by them to identify permanent diminution, if any, in the value of investment and necessary accounting treatment adopted in the books. In addition, management has provided us with the future business plans, wherever necessary and how in their business judgement such gap between investment and net-worth of the investee is either compensated with improving business conditions or valuations of such entities. Going forward our regular audit procedures are designed to keep a follow up on outcomes of these management assertions.

B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customer

Description of key audit matter

Revenue amounting to Rs. 45,526.88 Lakhs reported in the Company’s financial statements pertains to customer specific contracts and the same are required to satisfy the recognition and measurement criteria as prescribed in IND AS 115, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. Company’s revenue is bifurcated into two main parts (a) revenue from software products (IPR based licenses) and (b) revenue from software services. Certain contracts necessarily involve estimations and certain assumptions to be made by the management in determining the quantum of revenue to be recognised in specific period. This inherently creates certain uncertainties and results in complexities in accounting treatment wherein incorrect assumptions and estimates can lead to revenue being recognised in incorrect accounting periods thereby impacting the results. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.

Description of Auditor’s response

  • With a view to verify the reasonableness of the revenue accounting we carried out following procedures:

  • a) Understanding the internal control environment for revenue recognition and to test check with a view to verify its operating effectiveness;

  • b) Major contracts were read and analysed to verify correctness of accounting of revenue as calculated by the Company’s Management;

  • c) Discussed with the management process of identification of variable consideration and verified the working on test basis;

  • d) Verified the working of unbilled revenue and unearned revenue on test basis;

  • e) Performed analytical procedures and obtained reasons for major variances;

  • f) Ensured that revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting policy of the Company and Ind AS 115;

C. Contingent liabilities

Description of key audit matter

Contingent liabilities as at 31 March, 2024 amounted to Rs. 23,568.96 Lakhs, which mainly include pending income-tax matters and certain legal cases other than those forming basis for our qualified opinion. Contentious income tax matters relate to interpretational differences between the Company and various tax authorities, certain matters subjected to internal circulars and guidelines within tax authorities irrespective of stated legal provisions sometimes requiring decision making only by higher tax authorities through appellate procedures resulting in delays in outcome. Given the current legal and

To the members of 63 moons technologies limited

operational embargo that the Company is facing, it is subjected the multiple litigations by and on the Company sub-judice at various courts and levels requiring the Company’s Management to exercise significant judgement on these outcomes to determine the liabilities that are contingent in nature. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit, this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.

Description of Auditor’s response

With a view to ensure that disclosures made by the Company in Note 33 to the Standalone Financial Statements, are determined appropriately and prudently, we obtained information of pending income-tax matters from the Company and have obtained/verified the documents including the communication with the departments provided by the Company. In addition, we have carried out comparison with respect to previous year and obtained/reviewed documentation for additional tax matters arisen during the year. Our tax team has carried out discussions with the Company’s internal tax team on these cases mainly with respect to issues raised by various tax authorities in their communication to the Company to substantiate Company’s assessment that there are no present obligations perceived.

With respect to legal cases disclosed to us, we have obtained updates on pending cases from the management and discussed it with the Company’s internal legal department, wherever necessary. We carried out a comparison between the latest status and immediate previous status. While comparing, we have tried to ascertain the appropriateness, without being judgemental, of the management judgement exercised in updating to the latest status and have tried to evaluate an impact on such ascertainment of whether the Company liabilities to which it is contingently liable are appropriately ascertained with prudence principle.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON (HEREINAFTER REFERRED AS “OTHER INFORMATION”)

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report including any annexures thereto, Corporate Governance Report and Management Discussion and Analysis, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

These reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read these reports, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable as per applicable laws and regulations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 and 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 are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

| 108 |

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of 63 moons technologies limited

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone 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.

  • B. 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 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.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management and Board of Directors.

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Directors’ 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 standalone 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.

  • E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Standalone 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.

We further state that our reporting is based on the facts up to the date of the audit report and we neither give any guarantee nor any assurance that all liabilities falling due within a period of one year from the balance sheet date, will get discharged by the company as and when they fall due.

REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

[UNDER CLAUSE (i) OF SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“THE ACT”)]

OPINION

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of 63 moons technologies limited (hereinafter referred as “the Company”) as of 31 March, 2024 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion and 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 were operating effectively as at 31 March, 2024, based on the internal financial 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 (hereinafter referred as “the guidance note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (hereinafter referred as “ICAI”).

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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. 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 the 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 Act.

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 and the SAs issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. Those SAs 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 Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Standalone Financial Statements.

ANNEXURE B TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Referred to in paragraph 2 (f) under the heading, “Report on other legal and regulatory requirements” of our report on even date:

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.

Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of control over the goods to the customer. Sales are recorded net of returns (if any), trade discounts, rebates, and goods and service tax. Projected losses, if any, are provided in entirety as per Ind AS based on management's current estimates of cost to completion arrived at on the basis of technical assessment of time and effort required and estimates of future expenditure.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which are referred to as unbilled revenue). Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which are referred to as unearned revenues).

3.2 Interest Income

Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income in respect of income tax is accounted on receipt basis.

3.3 Investment property rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight‐line basis over the term of the lease and presented as other income.

3.4 Property, Plant and Equipment

i. Recognition and Measurement

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital work-in-progress”.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss.

ii. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with these will flow to the company and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

iii. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight‐line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.

Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life as follows.

Assets costing up to ₹ 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

3.5 Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.

The Company amortises intangible assets using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows: • Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years

  • Computer software - 4 to 6 years

3.6 Investment property

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently investment properties comprising buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight‐line method over their estimated useful lives. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow method and other relevant factors, if any. Useful life of the investment property is considered as 58 years.

3.7 Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

3.8 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.

Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition if and in the period the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Derecognition of financial instruments

A financial asset is derecognised by the Company only when:

  • Contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets expires; or

  • The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

  • If the Company has not retained control of the financial asset; or

  • The Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.

In case of financial liability any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

3.9 Measurement of Fair Value

Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non‐ financial assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments as define in Ind AS 113, the Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs, valuation adjustments, uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks, existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

3.10 Write – Off

The Company is directly reducing the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.

3.11 Impairment

i. Financial Assets

For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Company tests loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.

Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

NOTES

forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024

ii. Non-financial Assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then asset’s / cash generating unit (CGU)’s recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

3.12 Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.

3.13 Employee Benefits

i. Short-term Obligations

The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.

ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations

Compensated Absences

The Company has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each reporting date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting date and recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, net of tax impact, in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to ‘Finance Cost’ in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Company has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

3.14 Income Tax

  • Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and it is recognised in profit or loss or in OCI.

i. Current Tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under Other Income and accounted on receipt basis. Interest expenses and penalties, if any, are included in Current Tax Expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset as per IND AS 12.

FINANCIALS | STANDALONE

NOTES

forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss.

The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

ii. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is not recognised for:

  • temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Company and the reversal of temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

3.15 Operating Cycle

  • Based on the nature of products / activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

3.16 Provisions

Provision is defined as per Ind AS 37. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

3.17 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets (Refer Note 33)

A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed 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. Claims against the Company, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities. Contingent assets are not recognised or disclosed in the financial statements.

3.18 Leases

Effective April 01, 2019, the Company had adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" by applying the modified retrospective approach. The Company, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not lease.

Company as a lessee

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less

| 128 |

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

NOTES

any lease incentives received. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

3.19 Earning Per Share

Calculation/Formula of Basic & Diluted Earnings Per Share is carried out in line with the principles & practices mentioned in the Ind AS 33. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

4. RECENT INDIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IND AS)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has not notified any amendments to Ind AS which are effective 1st April, 2024.

NOTES

forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The fair value hierarchy is described as under:

  • Level 1 hierarchy includes methods and input that use active quoted prices depending upon type of instrument. Management has used closing prices and values of closing NAV’s as applicable in case of financial instruments covered under this level.

  • Under level 2 the fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in any active market are determined using appropriate valuation techniques with the use of observable market data without relying much on the estimates that are entity specific. The inputs under this level are always observable.

  • In case of level 3 if one or more of the significant inputs are not derived on the basis of observable market data then fair value estimations derived with such inputs are included in level 3.

  • The Company follows a policy to recognise transfers between the levels only at the end of reporting period and accordingly there are no transfers between levels during the year.

The information based on the above levels is tabulated here below:

31 RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

Trade Receivables

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business and their past transactions. Impairment losses in respect of trade receivables is assessed at party level on each reporting date. The Company establishes an expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on historical trends. The ageing analysis of trade receivable (gross of provision) has been considered from the date invoice falls due. Following table depicts expected credit loss on age wise trade receivables.

Financial instruments & bank balances:

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in securities with a good credit rating. The credit rating is being reviewed by the Company periodically. Please refer to Note 43 and Note 44 regarding the Company’s investment in (a) Non-Convertible Debentures of IL&FS Transport Networks Ltd and (b) Perpetual Bonds of Yes Bank Limited. Balances with banks are subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. Typically, the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financial obligations.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

NOTES

forming part of the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2024

For the year ended March 31, 2024 every 1% increase/decrease of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would result in loss / gain of ₹ 0.62 lakhs (net of tax).

For the year ended March 31, 2023 every 1% increase/decrease of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would result in loss / gain of ₹ 0.08 lakhs (net of tax).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s investments are primarily in fixed rate interest bearing securities and hence do not carry substantial interest rate risk. Company investments in bank deposits are normally for one-year fixed rate interest and hence subject to repricing risk on maturity. See Note 47 (d) and 47 (e) for attachment of investments.

Capital Management

The primary objective of Company’s capital management is to maximize shareholders value and safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is predominantly equity financed and has no borrowings.

Price Risk

The Company is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in debt mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments. The Company has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimise price risk arising from investments in debt mutual funds.

The sensitivity analysis have been determined based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while holding all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the projected benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated. Furthermore, in presenting the above sensitivity analysis, the present value of the projected benefit obligation has been calculated using the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period, which is the same method as applied in calculating the projected benefit obligation as recognised in the balance sheet.There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from prior years.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on expectation of the average long term rate of return expected to prevail over the estimated term of the obligation on the type of the investments assumed to be held by LIC, since the fund is managed by LIC.

The estimate of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, takes into account the inflation, seniority, promotion, increments and other relevant factors, such as supply and demand in the employment market.

The Company expects to contribute ₹ 471.81 lakhs (Previous Year ₹ 400.04 lakhs) to the plan assets in the immediate next year.

41 During the year, in order to meet the working capital requirements of NSEL, the Company has subscribed to the right issues made by NSEL to the extent of ₹ 4,750 lakhs (Previous Year ₹ 3,500 lakhs). Over a period of time, the investments were made by the Company to NSEL out of commercial expediency for the purpose of enhancing the business and also preserving various assets of the Company. On conservative basis, the Company has been making allowance for expected credit loss in value of long-term investments in NSEL for any new investment made during the year. Post payment default in July 2013, NSEL does not have business of its own and in the near future there does not seem to be any possibility of NSEL generating any funds for its own functioning. NSEL has no revenue and has accumulated losses of ₹ 29,564.90 crores and most of its assets are frozen by various regulatory authorities. Considering the remote possibility of recovery of its investments, during the year, the Company has written off its entire investment in NSEL of ₹ 33,697.90 lakhs including the investment of ₹ 4,750.00 lakhs made during the year and corresponding provision made till year ending March 31, 2023 of ₹ 28,947.90 lakhs has been written back.

National Spot Exchange Limited (‘NSEL’) vide their audit report on the consolidated Ind AS financial statement of NSEL, to the extent the same are found significant as per the Guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, from time to time and which also forms the basis for qualified opinion in our audit report on the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group:

  • (a) “As stated in Note nos. 39 to 44 to the Consolidated Financial Statement, the Group has been served with notices/ letters/ summons from various statutory authorities/ regulators/ Government departments and some purported aggrieved parties. The Group is party to many proceedings filed by / or against the Group which are pending before different forum pertaining to the period prior to suspension of the exchange related operations from 31st July 2013.

  • (b) “The trade receivables, other receivables, loans and advances and deposits are subject to confirmation and reconciliation. The management, however, does not expect any material changes on account of such reconciliation/ confirmation from parties. In many cases legal notices have been sent to the parties in earlier years; however, we are unable to form any opinion on the recoverability of the outstanding balances of such parties.”

We conducted our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associate 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 Consolidated 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 along with the consideration of audit report of other auditors referred to in other matters below is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

EMPHASIS OF MATTERS

  1. We draw attention to the Note 43 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which describes Company’s investment of Rs. 20,000 Lakhs (face value) in secured non-convertible debentures issued by IL&FS Transportation Networks Ltd (ITNL) (subsidiary of Infrastructure Leasing & Finance Ltd – ILFS), whereas, the ITNL has defaulted in repayment of interest. During the resolution process, Hon’ble NCLAT has approved the Revised Distribution Framework proposed by the New Board for interim distribution. The Company without prejudice to its rights had impaired the investment for the expected credit loss by ₹ 11,636.55 lakhs till 31 March, 2023 and has written off above-mentioned amounts in respective years.

  2. We draw attention to Note 44 to the Consolidated Financial Statements which describes Company’s investment of Rs. 30,000 Lakhs (face value) in 9% Yes Bank Perpetual Additional Tier I (AT-1) bonds. The hon’ble Bombay High Court has quashed and set aside the letter dated 14 March, 2020 issued by the Administrator, Yes Bank and decision to write off Additional Tier 1 bonds. On the request of the Yes Bank Counsel the hon’ble Bombay High Court has stayed this order for period of six weeks. Yes Bank and RBI challenged the Bombay High Court's order before the Supreme Court and accordingly stay was extended subject to the final order passed by the Supreme Court. It describes the uncertainty related to the current outcome of the above-mentioned order.

  3. We reproduce hereunder the ‘Emphasis of Matters’ issued by the independent auditor of an Associate (where holding company owns share of 29.15%) viz. NTT Data Payment Services India Limited (Formerly known as Atom Technologies Limited,) vide their audit report dated 21 May, 2024, on the standalone Ind AS financial statement, to the extent the same are found significant as per the Guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, from time to time and which also forms the basis for our audit report on the accompanying Statement of the Group:

“We draw your attention to Note 35 of the financial statement. Union Bank of India (UBI) made claims of Rs. 190 Crores vide letter dated 22 November, 2022. The same is towards payment of commission due to the application of incorrect Merchant Service Fees (MSF) rate for certain identified transactions. The matter is still under discussion & there has been continuous endeavour from both the side so to reach at the convergence, however, considering the factual situation, the Company has created a provision of Rs. 22 Crores in the financials as of 31 March, 2023, which is still continuing till matter is finally resolved. Hence, considering the factual information provided above and independent legal advice obtained by the management, possibility of an outflow of resources, embodying economic benefits due to materialisation of any further balance amount is remote. Accordingly, considering all the above facts, the company has not disclosed the same under contingent liability vide para 28 of Ind AS 37.”

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters of emphasis.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole; in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate

| 167 |

FINANCIALS | CONSOLIDATED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of 63 moons technologies limited

opinion on these matters. Apart from ‘Basis for Qualified Opinion’ We have determined the key audit matters as described below:

Key audit matters from Standalone Financial Statements which are also part of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

We reproduce hereunder the 'Key Audit Matters' issued by the us w.r.t. to the Holding Company to the extent the same is found significant as per the Guidance issued by the institute of Chartered Accountants of India, from time to time and which also forms the basis for key audit matters in our audit report on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group:

  • A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments

  • B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customers

  • C. Contingent Liabilities

A. Determination of fair value of carrying amount of investments

Description of key audit matter:

The Holding Company has investments net of provision of Rs. 75,158.58 Lakhs as at 31 March, 2024 consisting of Investments in the equity instruments of subsidiaries, third party bonds, mutual funds, other equity instruments etc. and are valued as per Ind AS 109, “Financial instruments”. By their nature, these are subjected to various factors related to respective investee entities including but not limited to, economic factors, business dynamics, financial performance etc and impact a fair valuation of these investments. Accordingly, this necessitates a close monitoring by the management of these situations and judgement, based on appropriate evaluation criteria to arrive at a fair value of carrying amounts of these assets as at balance sheet date. Against this background, this matter was of significance in the context of our audit.

Description of Auditor’s response:

We have carried out a comparison between carrying value of investment as at balance sheet date and net worth as reflected by latest audited financials of investee companies. Wherever carrying amount of investment is more than the net-worth of investee company we have discussed and enquired with the management the process followed by them to identify permanent diminution, if any, in the value of investment and necessary accounting treatment adopted in the books. In addition, management has provided us with the future business plans and how in their business judgement such gap between investment and net-worth of the investee is either compensated with improving business conditions or valuations of such entities. Going forward our regular audit procedures are designed to keep a follow up on outcomes of these management assertions.

B. Accounting treatment for contracts with customers

Description of key audit matter:

Revenue amounting to Rs. 45,526.88 Lakhs reported in the Holding Company’s financial statements pertains to customer specific contracts and the same are required to satisfy the recognition and measurement criteria as prescribed in IND AS 115, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’. Company’s revenue is bifurcated into two main parts (a) revenue from software products (IPR based licenses) and (b) revenue from software services. Certain contracts necessarily involve estimations and certain assumptions to be made by the management in determining the quantum of revenue to be recognised in specific period. This inherently creates certain uncertainties and results in complexities in accounting treatment wherein incorrect assumptions and estimates can lead to revenue being recognised in incorrect accounting periods thereby impacting the results. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.

Description of Auditor’s response:

  • With a view to verify the reasonableness of the revenue accounting we carried out following procedures:

  • a) Understanding the internal control environment for revenue recognition and to test check with a view to verify its operating effectiveness;

  • b) Major contracts were read and analysed to verify correctness of accounting of revenue as calculated by the Company’s Management;

  • c) Discussed with the management process of identification of variable consideration and verified the working on test basis;

  • d) Verified the working of unbilled revenue and unearned revenue on test basis;

  • e) Performed analytical procedures and obtained reasons for major variances;

  • f) Ensured that revenue is recognized in accordance with accounting policy of the Company and Ind AS 115;

C. Contingent liabilities

Description of Key Audit Matter

Contingent liabilities as at 31 March, 2024 amounted to Rs. 23,568.96 Lakhs, which mainly include pending income-tax matters and certain legal cases other than those forming basis for our qualified opinion. Contentious income tax matters relate to interpretational differences between the company and various tax authorities, certain matters subjected to internal circulars and guidelines within tax authorities irrespective of stated legal provisions sometimes requiring decision making only by higher tax authorities through appellate procedures resulting in delays in outcome. Given the current legal and operational embargo that the company is facing, it is subjected the multiple litigations by and on the company sub-judice at various courts and levels requiring the Holding Company’s Management to exercise significant judgement on these outcomes to determine the liabilities that are contingent in nature. Considering these factors, in the context of our audit, this matter was of significance and hence a key audit matter.

Description of Auditor response

With a view to ensure that disclosures made by the company in Note No. 32 are determined appropriately and prudently, we obtained information of pending income-tax matters from the Company and have obtained/verified the documents including the communication with the departments provided by the Company. In addition, we have carried out comparison with respect to previous year and obtained/reviewed documentation for additional tax matters arisen during the year. Our tax team has carried out discussions with the Holding Company’s internal tax team on these cases mainly with respect to issues raised by various tax authorities in their communication to the company to substantiate Holding Company’s assessment that there are no present obligations perceived.

With respect to legal cases disclosed to us, we have obtained updates on pending cases from the management and discussed it with the Holding Company’s internal legal department, wherever necessary. We carried out a comparison between the latest status and immediate previous status. While comparing, we have tried to ascertain the appropriateness, without being judgemental, of the management judgement exercised in updating to the latest status and have tried to evaluate an impact on such ascertainment of whether the Company liabilities to which it is contingently liable are appropriately ascertained with prudence principle.

Key audit matters from other subsidiaries which are also part of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

We reproduce hereunder the ‘Key Audit Matters’ issued by the independent auditor(s) of a subsidiary viz. National Spot Exchange Limited (‘NSEL’) vide their audit report on the consolidated financial statements of NSEL, to the extent the same are found significant as per the Guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, from time to time and which also forms the basis for key audit matters in our audit report on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group:

  • (a) “As stated in note no. 2.3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Board of Directors of the NSEL is of the view that in the short term, its main challenge is to recover the money from defaulting members. As explained by the management, the Group is making all out efforts in recovering the amounts from defaulter members for settlement as well as its trade and other receivables. Order issued by Hon’ble High Court for merger of NSEL with Holding company has been set aside by Hon’ble Supreme court vide order dated 30th April, 2019. Holding company has committed to continue the financial support to NSEL by way of infusion of capital into NSEL and on the basis of such support, these financial statements for the year ended 31 March, 2024 are prepared on going concern basis. We have relied on the above-mentioned explanations and information given by the Management.

  • (b) As stated in note no. 57 of the consolidated financial statements, the company has suspended the recognition of interest income on fixed deposits attached under the Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act 1999 due to uncertainty in future economic benefits directly flowing to the company. The company shall account for interest amount on any favourable order by the court of law.

Our opinion is not qualified in respect of these matters.”

Based on the additional procedures performed by us, we have not come across any instance requiring material adjustment to the consolidated financial statement having pervasive impact in the context of an audit opinion on these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of 63 moons technologies limited

These reports are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. When we read these reports, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and describe actions applicable as per applicable laws and regulations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to preparation and presentation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in term of the requirements of the Act, that give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position, consolidated financial performance, consolidated cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group including its associate in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. The respective management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of each 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 the 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/ Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its associate are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and its associate are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each Company.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated 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.

  • B. 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 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.

  • C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

| 170 |

63 moons technologies limited | Annual Report 2023-24

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the members of 63 moons technologies limited

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. 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 Consolidated 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 Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of such entities or business activities within the Group and its associate to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements of such entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in Consolidated Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditors 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 Consolidated 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.

ANNEXURE A TO THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Referred to in paragraph (f) under the heading, “Report on Other legal and Regulatory Requirements” of our report on even date:

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 with reference to consolidated financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

3 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS-110) “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS-28) “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” as notified under the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 on the following basis:

Group consolidates entities which it owns or controls. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and its associate company as disclosed below. Control exists when the parent has power over the entity, is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns by using its power over the entity. Power is demonstrated through existing rights that give the ability to direct relevant activities, those which significantly affect the entity's returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date control commences until the date control ceases.

The financial statements of the Group subsidiary companies are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and intra-group balances and transactions including unrealized gain / loss from such transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. These financial statements are prepared by applying uniform accounting policies in use at the Group. Non-controlling interests which represent part of the net profit or loss and net assets of subsidiaries that are not, directly or indirectly, owned or controlled by the company, are excluded.

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the acquisition date. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.

4 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements. 4.1 Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Groupd recognises the revenue as per five step model as specified in Ind AS 115. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price of goods sold and services rendered is net of variable consideration on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Group as part of the contract. Revenue also excludes taxes collected from customers.

The revenue from the sale of software products (including IPR based licenses) is recognised on delivery/granting of right to use. In respect of service contracts, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and where there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration, is recognized over time. Revenue from fixed price service contracts is recognised based on acts performed as specified in the contracts over the contract period where performance of several acts is required over that period. In the case of time and material contracts, revenue is recognised on the basis of hours completed and material used. Revenue from annual maintenance contracts, lease of licenses, IT infrastructure sharing income and Shared Business Support Services is recognised proportionately over the period in which the services are rendered/licenses is leased. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised on transfer of control over the goods to the customer. Sales are recorded net of returns (if any), trade discounts, rebates, and goods and service tax. Projected losses, if any, are provided in entirety as per Ind AS based on management's current estimates

NOTES

of cost to completion arrived at on the basis of technical assessment of time and effort required and estimates of future expenditure.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (which are referred to as unbilled revenue). Contract assets are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms. Invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (which are referred to as unearned revenues).

Service charges include income from various services viz data fee and message services, revenue sharing income, coaching and training fees, internet telecommunication charges, which are recognised as and when services are rendered.

4.2 Interest income

Interest income from debt instruments is recognised using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment, extension, call and similar options) but does not consider the expected credit losses. Interest income in respect of income tax is accounted on receipt basis.

4.3 Dividends

Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established.

4.4 Investment property rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight‐line basis over the term of the lease and presented as other income.

4.5 Property, plant and equipment

i. Recognition and measurement

Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, if any.

The cost of PPE comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

PPE which are not ready for intended use as on the date of Balance Sheet are disclosed as “Capital work-in- progress”

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of an asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets) is recognised in Statement of Profit & Loss.

ii. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure relating to PPE is capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits with these will flow to the Group and cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs & maintenance costs are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as and when incurred.

iii. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight‐line method over their estimated useful lives. Leased assets and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.

Freehold Land is not depreciated. For others, depreciation has been provided on the basis of estimated useful life as follows.


as follows.
Assets Useful life
Office Equipment 2 to 5 Years
Electrical Installations 10 Years
Computer Hardware 3 to 6 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 to 10 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Building 58years
Leasehold improvements Over leaseperiod(2 to 5years)

Assets costing upto ₹ 5,000/- are fully depreciated in the year of acquisition.

4.6 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. The cost of intangible assets comprises its purchase price including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes after deducting trade discounts and rebates and any costs directly attributable to bring in use. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective individual estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, from the date that they are available for use. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis.

The Group amortises intangible assets with using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows: – Patents, copyright and other rights - 8 years – Computer software - 4 to 6 years

4.7 Investment property

Investment properties are initially recognised at cost including transaction costs. Subsequently investment properties comprising buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight‐line method over their estimated useful lives. Fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow method and other relevant factors, if any. Useful life of the investment property is considered as 58 years.

4.8 Cash and cash equivalents

The Group considers all highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of balances with banks which are unrestricted for withdrawal and usage.

4.9 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. The classification of financial instruments depends on the objective of the business model for which it is held. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at recognition.

NOTES

Financial assets are reclassified subsequent to their recognition if and in the period the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets.

Derecognition of financial instruments:

  • A financial asset is derecognised by the Group only when:

  • Contractual right to receive cash flows from the assets expires; or

  • the Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset; or

  • if the Group has not retained control of the financial asset; or

  • the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss including cumulative gain or loss in case of financial assets subsequently valued at fair value through other comprehensive income. In case of financial assets subsequently fair valued through profit or loss, gain or loss is presented on a net basis.

  • In case of financial liability any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in statement of profit and loss.

4.10 Measurement of Fair Value

The Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non‐ financial assets and liabilities. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments as define in Ind AS 113.The Group regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realized.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liabilities and the level of fair value hierarchy.

4.11 Write – Off

The Group is directly reducing the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.

4.12 Impairment

i. Financial assets:

For the financial assets which are not fair valued through profit or loss, the Group tests loss allowances using the expected credit loss (ECL) model and recognises, if any.

Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised is recognized as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss.

ii. Non-financial assets:

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then asset’s / cash generating unit (CGU)’s recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset / CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized

4.13 Foreign Currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the Group at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non‐monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency is translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non‐ monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and are not retranslated. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.

FINANCIALS | CONSOLIDATED

NOTES

forming part of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024

Foreign operations

  • The translation of the financial statements of non-integral foreign operations (including branches) is accounted for as under:

  • i. All revenues and expenses are translated at average rate.

  • ii. All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date.

  • iii. Resulting exchange difference is accumulated in Foreign Currency Translation Reserve Account until the disposal of the net investment in the said non integral foreign operation.

  • iv. Foreign subsidiaries (non-integral foreign operations) financial statements are prepared in the currency of country in which they are domiciled except when another currency is considered appropriate based on revenue and cost stream.

4.12 Employee benefits

i. Short-term obligations

The undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees is recognised as an expense during the period when the employee renders those services.

ii. Other long-term employee benefit obligations

Compensated absences

The Group has a policy on compensated absences which are both accumulating and non-accumulating in nature. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is determined by actuarial valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance sheet date using projected unit credit method on the additional amount expected to be paid/availed as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the balance sheet date and recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. Expense on non-accumulating compensated absences is recognized in the year in which the absences occur.

Defined Benefit Plan

The Group provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan ('the Gratuity Plan') covering eligible employees. The liability or asset recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit gratuity plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised, net of tax impact, in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. They are included in retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity and in the balance sheet. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in profit or loss as past service cost. The amount of net interest expense calculated by applying the liability discount rate to the net defined liability or asset is charged or credited to ‘Finance Cost’ in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Defined contribution plans

The Group pays provident fund contributions to publicly administered provident funds as per local regulations. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are accounted for as defined contribution plans and the contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due.

iii. Share-based payment arrangements

The Group recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments in net profit using fair-value in accordance with Ind AS 102, Share-Based Payment. The estimated fair value of awards is charged to income on a

straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was in-substance, multiple awards with a corresponding increase to share options outstanding account. For employees, in respect of Employee Stock Option Scheme, remuneration is considered at the time of exercise of option at a perquisite value as defined under Income Tax Act, 1961.

4.15 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition or construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of such assets. All other borrowing costs are charged to expense.

4.16 Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss or in OCI.

i. Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or

| 190 |

NOTES

recoverable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Interest income in respect of income tax is shown under Other Income and accounted on receipt basis, interest expenses and penalties, if any, are included in current tax expense. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset as per IND AS 12.

Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the MAT credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the statement of profit and loss. The Group reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that Group will pay normal income tax during the specified period.

ii. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax is not recognised for:

  • temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans of the Group and the reversal of temporary differences.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

4.17 Inventories

Inventories are valued at lower of cost on First in First out (FIFO) basis or net realizable value. Cost comprises of cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their respective present location and condition. In case of defective and obsolete items, due allowance is estimated and provided for wherever necessary

4.18 Operating Cycle

  • Based on the nature of products / activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current.

4.19 Provisions

Provision is defined as per Ind AS 37. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted to reflect its present value using a current pre-tax rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

4.20 Contingent liabilities and contingent assets, if any, are disclosed in the notes to accounts. (Refer note 32)

A present obligation that arises from past events, where it is either not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Contingent liabilities are also disclosed 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 Group. Claims against the Group, where the possibility of any outflow of resources in settlement is remote, are not disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Contingent assets are not recognised or disclosed in the financial statements.

4.21 Leases

Effective April 01, 2019, the Company had adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" by applying the modified retrospective approach. The Company, at the inception of a contract, assesses whether the contract is a lease or not lease.

Company as a lessee

The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right -of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight -line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right -of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right -of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value and are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Company as a lessor

At the inception of the lease the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight- line basis over the lease term. In case of a finance lease, finance income is recognised over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease. When the Company is an intermediate lessor it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

4.22 Earning Per Share

Calculation/Formula of Basic & Diluted Earnings Per Share is carried out in line with the principles & practices mentioned in the Ind AS 33. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit / (loss) after tax attributable to equity shareholder of the company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

5 Recent Indian Accounting standards (Ind AS)

Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has not notified any amendments to Ind AS which are effective 1st April, 2024.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. The fair value hierarchy is described as under:

  • Level 1 hierarchy includes methods and input that use active quoted prices depending upon type of instrument. Management has used closing prices and values of closing NAV’s as applicable in case of financial instruments covered under this level.

  • Under level 2 the fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in any active market are determined using appropriate valuation techniques with the use of observable market data without relying much on the estimates that are entity specific. The inputs under this level are always observable.

  • The Company follows a policy to recognise transfers between the levels only at the end of reporting period and accordingly there are no transfers between levels during the year.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities.

Trade receivables

The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business and their past transactions. Impairment losses in respect of trade receivables are assessed at party level on each reporting date. The Group establishes an expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on historical trends.

Financial instruments and bank balances:

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in securities with a good credit rating. The credit rating is being reviewed by the Group periodically. Please refer to Note 43 and 44 regarding the Company’s investment in (a) NonConvertible Debentures of IL&FS Transport Networks Ltd and (b) Perpetual Bonds of Yes Bank Limited. Balances with banks are subject to low credit risks due to good credit ratings assigned to these banks.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient

liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. Typically the Company ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financial obligations.

The table below provides details regarding the contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities as at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:

Foreign Currency risk

The Group’s exchange risk arises primarily from its foreign currency borrowings, and balances in overseas bank accounts (in U.S. dollars). The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and US dollars has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future.

As at March 31, 2024, the net unhedged exposure to the Group on holding financial assets (trade receivable and capital advances) and liabilities (trade payables and capital creditors) other than in their functional currency amounted to rupees ₹ 87.38 lacs receivables (March 31, 2023 ₹ 11.10 Lacs).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates was related primarily to the Group’s debt obligations with floating interest rates. To mitigate the interest rate risk, the Group had entered into interest rate swap contracts for covering partial borrowing to fixed rate of interest from floating rate. Group investments in bank deposits are normally for one year fixed rate interest and hence subject to repricing risk on maturity.

Price Risk

The Group is mainly exposed to the price risk due to its investment in debt mutual funds. The price risk arises due to uncertainties about the future market values of these investments.

The Group has laid policies and guidelines which it adheres to in order to minimize price risk arising from investments in debt mutual funds.

The said amount is in turn debited to our account without our knowledge / consent. IBMA has not accounted/accepted the said debit amount of ₹ 42.12 Lakhs and IBMA had denied the said charges. IBMA till date has not received any notice/communication from Karvy Comtrade Ltd with regards aforesaid and as per limitation Act, aforesaid claim is barred.

65 In Case of NSEL:

  • a) The Director, FIU-India had issued a Show Cause Notice alleging that NSEL is ‘deemed intermediary’ and therefore a ’reporting entity’ under PMLA and passed an Order on 04.11.2015, imposing a total penalty of ₹ 144.00 Lakhs on NSEL for not getting registered as a reporting entity and allegedly not furnishing reports and consequently not appointing Principal Officer as prescribed under PMLA. NSEL had filed an appeal under Section 26 of PMLA challenging the above Order and disposed of the Appeal by modifying the part of the order in relation to the maximum penalty and reduced the penalty from ₹ 1.00 Lakh for each failure to ₹ 0.15 Lakh for each failure. NSEL as per interim order dated 31.08.2016 of Appellate Tribunal had deposited an amount of ₹ 25.00 Lakhs with the Director, FIU-India. The Tribunal further ordered that after deducting the penalty as per the aforesaid order, the remaining amount be refunded to NSEL. Thereafter, NSEL and FIU-India has filed appeal challenging order of the Appellate Tribunal, which are pending before the Hon’ble Bombay High Court. Since, amount of penalty is not determinable at this stage and NSEL is confident of getting favorable order and hence NSEL has not made any provision in the books of account and shown as contingent liability.

  • b) Service tax related contingent liability: NSEL received summons dated April 04, 2016 from the Superintendent (Antievasion) Service Tax-V, Mumbai calling upon NSEL, to submit certain documents/ records, which is being looked into by NSEL and necessary representation is being processed. The Office of the Commissioner of Service Tax issued demand notice of ₹ 1,322.51 Lakhs for contravening the provisions of the Finance Act, 1994 for the period 2010-11 (Oct-March) to 2014-15 and have made liable for penalty u/s 78 A of the Finance Act, 1994. The Office of the Commissioner has made demand of ₹ 2,645.12 Lakhs (excluding interest) under various Sections of the Finance Act, 1994. NSEL has filed an appeal against the said Order issued on June 30, 2021. The appeal shall be heard by the Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (SAT) in due course. Till now no date has been assigned.

  • c) Income tax related contingent liabilities: Income tax appeals u/s. 250 of the Act, for the periods from AY 2011-12 to 2014-15 and AY 17-18 is under progress at various levels. Appeal for AY 2011-12 is also taken up u/s. 147 r.w.s. 143(3)

As per the legal counsels, NSEL has a good legal grounds, because of which, most part of the demand is not likely to sustain, in higher forums.

66 IN CASE OF IBMA:

  • a) Service tax related contingent liability:

  • A. Where IBMA has acted as an agent for members/clients: IBMA had obtained sales tax registrations in seventeen states in India. IBMA had acted as an agent for few of selling and buying members on NSEL exchange platform in respective states as “dealer”. Such transactions were carried out for principals (member/clients) by IBMA. Some of the state sales tax authorities are in advances stage or have completed assessments of such transactions. In some cases, input tax credits (ITC) on purchases have been denied on account of following reasons:

    • i. Non- payment of Sales Tax (VAT/CST) by selling party.

    • ii. Non-filing of sales tax (VAT /CST) returns by selling party.

    • iii. Non-matching of sales tax amount with the Sales Tax returns filed by selling party.

    • iv. Lack of confirmation of sales tax payment by selling party etc.

As a fall out of above, demands have been raised against IBMA by several state government sales tax authorities. All such demands are contested at various forums. In all such cases, IBAM has taken steps to ensure that ITC on purchases are not denied and credits are promptly given IBMA. In cases where the selling dealer has collected tax, but not deposited to state treasury, IBMA has requested administration to recover from the selling dealer/ not to hold company responsible for the same. In cases where confirmation of proof of payment by the selling party is concerned, IBMA is using its resources to seek the same and furnish before the authorities.

As per the legal advice received by IBMA, such liabilities, if any, which arise for acting as an agent, primarily pertains to the principal for whom IBMA had acted as an agent. The liability of IBMA qua such demands shall be to the sales tax registering authorities shall be total, if IBMA is held responsible to make such payments, ultimately. In all such cases, at present IBMA has treated such liabilities as contingent liabilities in its books of accounts, pending arriving at final liability on assessment and pending recovery of such amounts from principals.

  • B. Where IBMA has carried out own trading activities: In case of denial of ITC on all transactions where purchases were made by IBMA, on its account, such liabilities on sales tax account is considered as “contingent liabilities” till assessment is completed. In case of demands, which are disputed and where the liability of payment of tax is not on IBMA, the same is disclosed for as contingent liability.

IBMA has not provided any interest and penalty during the year on said liability as IBMA expects waiver of interest and penalty under VAT departments’ amnesty scheme coming in to effect time to time in various states.

  • b. Income tax assessment and outstanding demands for A.Y. 2010-11 to A.Y. 2014-15:

  • Income tax assessment/appeal for period from AY 2008-09 is under progress at various levels. There are certain demands raised by the department. Additions have been made by the department which are not justified and in certain cases appeal effect is not given or there are errors in orders which are not rectified. IBMA has filed objections and appeal to such additions, errors and demands. The matter is pending under various forum for hearing.

Year wise break up demand and forum where the same is pending is given below.

  • 67 As per the assessment of the Management of NSEL Group, necessary disclosures arising from the irregularities as stated above have been made in the financial statements.

However, the following risks are still not fully covered.

The applicability of MPID on the 63 Moons and NSEL was challenged by 63 Moons. The Hon’ble High Court of Bombay vide Order pronounced on 22 August 2019 was pleased to declare that NSEL is not a financial establishment under the MPID Act. The said order dated 22.08.2019 is challenged by the State of Maharashtra before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has set aside the order of the Bombay High Court.

  • 70 Basis the Gazette Notification issued by the State of Maharashtra under the provisions of MPID Act and the order of the Supreme court wherein NSEL has been held to be Financial Establishment under the MPID Act, the management of NSEL has suspended the recognition of Interest Income on Fixed Deposits that are attached under MPID Act. The management of NSEL is of the view that future economic benefit for the said Interest income is highly unlikely and may not directly flow to NSEL. The Interest Income for the period April 2023 to March 2024 which has not been booked in the books of accounts amounts to ₹ 308.08 Lakhs. NSEL shall account for the Interest amount on any favorable order by court of law.

The same is towards payment of commission due to application of incorrect Merchant Service Fees (MSF) rate for certain identified transactions. The matter is still under discussion & there has been continuous endeavour from both the side so to reach at the convergence, however, considering the factual situation, the company has created a provision of ₹ 22 Crs in the Financials as of March 2023,which is still continuing till matter is finally resolved. Hence, considering the factual information provided above and independent legal advice obtained by the Management, possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits due to materialisation of any further amount is remote and not quantifiable. Therefore, accordingly the company has not disclosed the same under contingent liability vide para 28 of Ind As 37.

  • 74 No transactions to report against the following disclosure requirements as notified by MCA pursuant to amended Schedule III.
