Independent Auditor’s Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Audited Standalone Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

To The Board of Directors of BSE Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying statement of quarterly and year to date standalone financial results of BSE Limited (the “Company”) for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021 (“Statement”), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Statement:

  • i. is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and

  • ii. gives a true and fair view in conformity with the applicable accounting standards and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit, other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Management’s Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

The Statement has been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Statement that gives a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income of the Company and other financial information in accordance with the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. 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 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 Statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Statement, the 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 the Statement.

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

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Statement, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

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

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 financial results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures, and whether the Statement represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 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.

Other Matters

  • 1 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on May 13, 2021 and the statutory auditors of the Company have conducted an Audit of the said standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021.

  • 2 The above standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2021 are prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2016.

  • 3 The Company operates only in one Business Segment i.e. "Facilitating Trading in Securities and other related ancillary Services", hence does not have any reportable Segments as per Ind-AS 108 "Operating Segments".

  • 4 (a) During the previous year, the Company had divested its 4% stake in its associate company Central Depository Services (India) Limited ("CDSL") through offer for sale. The profit on divestment amounting to ₹ 9,158 Lakh was reflected as an "Exceptional Item" in the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2020. (b) S & P Dow Jones Indices LLC and SPDJ Singapore Pte Ltd (hereinafter collectively called as “SPDJ”) had filed arbitration proceedings against BSE under Singapore International Arbitration Center’s rules, inter alia, challenging the termination of index licensing arrangement by BSE Limited. The Final Award passed by the Arbitrator Tribunal dated September 17, 2020 inter-alia, held that the termination of the Agreements by BSE is invalid, the Agreement continue to remain in force and the costs of arbitration, legal and other costs incurred by SPDJ shall be borne by BSE. Accordingly, an amount of ₹ 1,453 Lakh is paid by BSE to SPDJ with interest upto the date of payment. The said amount has been paid and has been disclosed as an "Exceptional item" for the year ended March 31, 2021. Interest paid to SPDJ of ₹ 17 Lakh has been disclosed as finance cost for the year ended March 31, 2021.

5 A Taxation Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 (“Ordinance”) on September 20, 2019 has amended the Income Tax Act, 1961 and
Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, by which the option has been provided for the lower tax regime without any incentives for the domestic
companies. Under the revised tax regime, benefit of accumulated Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) credit is not allowed. Considering the
substantial accumulated MAT credit, the management has assessed that at present it is beneficial not to opt for the option of availing
revised income tax rate. The tax liability for the current period and previous period has been accordingly calculated.
6 The Company had earlier received observations from SEBI in respect of inspection conducted for the period 2005 – 2017, in which the
Company was asked to plough back certain amount to Investors’ Services Fund (“ISF”) and BSE Investors Protection Fund Trust (“IPF”)
in respect of expenses charged in the earlier years to these funds. On the basis of response submitted by the Company, in the year
ended March 2020, SEBI concluded and instructed the Company to plough back an amount of ₹ 1,037 Lakh along with interest to the
said funds. Consequently, an expense of ₹ 1,385 Lakh was charged to the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2020
along with expense of ₹ 476 Lakh for the year ended March 31, 2018. Accordingly, an amount aggregating to ₹ 1,861 Lakh was
disclosed as "Provision for Additional Contribution to ISF and IPF" for the year ended March 31, 2020. Subsequently, based on final
amount arrived by SEBI, the Company had reassessed amount chargeable to the fund for earlier years and has written back ₹ 595 Lakh
to "Other income" in the year ended March 31, 2021.
7 As per the assessment of management, there are no lease contracts for which IND AS 116 – Leases is required to be applied.
8 During the previous year, the Company had opted for the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) scheme, 2019 for the settlement
of service tax matter of earlier years. Accordingly, an amount of ₹ 366 Lakh was paid under the said scheme, which was charged to
the profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 2020.
9 Pursuant to SEBI Circular CIR/MRD/DP/14/2014 dated April 23,2014 and BSE Notice no-20190805-10, 20190925-31, 20191108-25, with

BSE has already contributed ₹ 14,488 to Indian Clearing Corporation Ltd., which is in excess by ₹ 11,777 as compared to the requirement, as of March 31, 2021. Based on the transactions executed on BSE and which are cleared by other Clearing Corporations, requirement of Core SGF is ₹ 1,599 as on March 31, 2021, which has been duly paid.

  • Based on representation made by the company, SEBI allowed transfer of excess contribution made by the Stock Exchanges from Core SGF of one Clearing Corporation to the Core SGF of another Clearing Corporation and hence there is no additional charge to profit and loss account in this regard.
