Limited Review Report

To the Board of Directors. BPL Limited.

y.

We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited financial results of BPL Limited (the 'Company") for the period ended September 30, 2021, together with the relevant notes thereon (the 'Statement'). The Statement has been prepared by the Company pursuant to Regulation 33 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (the "Listing Regulations, 2015') read with SEBI circular dated July 5, 2016.

The Statement is the responsibility of the Company's management and has been approved by the Board of Directors. Further, the Management is also responsible to ensure that the accounting policies used in preparation of this Statement are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company's opening unaudited Balance Sheet as at April 1, 2016 prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognized accounting practices and policies. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the Statement based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2400, "Engagements to review financial statements" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement.

A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Statement has not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with Ind AS and other recognized accounting practices and policies, and has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure requirements) Regulations, 2015 read with SEBI circular dated July 5, 2016 including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement, except for impact (if any), of matters mentioned in note nos: $6 & 7$ of notes accompanying unaudited financial results.
