INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Linde India Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

Opinion

  • L We have audited the standalone annual financial results of Linde India Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") for the 15 months period ended March 31, 2023 and the standalone balance sheet and the statement of standalone cash flows as at and for the period ended on that date, 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') which has been initialled by us for identification purposes.
    1. In our,opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to ·us, the standalone financial results:
  • (i) are presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
  • (ii) give a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the applicable accounting standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for 15 months period ended March 31, 2023, and also the standalone balance sheet and the statement of standalone cash flows as at and for the 15 months period ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

  1. We draw attention to Note iv of the financial results which explains the management assessment of related party transactions in terms of Listing Regulations, 2015. The Company has received inquiries and information requests from Securities and Exchange Board of India in connection with certain related party transactions and arrangements to which the Company has been responding from time to time. There are significant uncertainties associated with the outcome of the above, being matters of legal and regulatory interpretation, the impact of which, if any is presently not ascertainable.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Board of Director's Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

    1. These standalone financial results have been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information, the standalone balance sheet and the statement of standalone cash flows in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued there under and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for 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 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, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the standalone financial results by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
    1. In preparing the standalone financial results, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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.
    1. The Board of Directors of the Company are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

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

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial results 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 results.
    1. 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 standalone financial results, 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. (Refer paragraph 14 below).
  • 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 ability of the Company 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 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 standalone financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
    1. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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 standalone financial results include the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year being 15 months period ended March 31, 2023 and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 of the current financial year, which are neither subject to limited review nor audited by us.
    1. The standalone financial results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021, were audited by another firm of chartered accountants under the Regulation 33 who, vide their report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial results.
    1. The standalone financial results of the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was reviewed by another firm of chartered accountants who issued an unmodified conclusion vide their report dated May 13, 2022.

Emphasis of Matter

  1. We draw attention to Note iv of the financial results which explains the management assessment of related party transactions in terms of Listing Regulations, 2015. The Holding Company has received inquiries and information requests from Securities and Exchange Board of India in connection with certain related party transactions and arrangements to which the Holding Company has been responding from time to time. There are significant uncertainties associated with the outcome of the above, being matters oflegal and regulatory interpretation, the impact of which, if any, is presently not ascertainable.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Management's Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results

    1. These consolidated financial results have been prepared on the basis of the consolidated annual financial statements. The Holding Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Holding Company including its associates and joint ventures and the consolidated balance sheet and the statement of consolidated cash flows in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian 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. The Board of Directors of the Holding Company and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the 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 results by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
    1. In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company and of its associates and joint ventures are responsible for assessing the ability of the Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
    1. The respective Board of Directors of the Holding Company, its associates and joint ventures are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

    1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results 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 results.
    1. 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 consolidated financial results, 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. (Refer paragraph 17 below).
  • 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 ability of the Holding and its associates and joint ventures 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 consolidated 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 Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results/financial information of Holding Company and its associates and joint ventures to express an opinion on the consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors.
    1. We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company, 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.

  1. We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Other Matters

  1. The consolidated financial results also includes the Group's share of net profit after tax of Rs. 86.30 millions and total comprehensive income of Rs. 86.30 millions for the 15 months period ended March 31, 2023, as considered in the consolidated financial results, in respect of one Joint venture, whose financial information have not been audited by us. This interim financial information is unaudited and has been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion on the consolidated financial results, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this Joint venture, is based solely on such unaudited interim financial information. In our opinion and according to the information and explanations given to us by the Management, this interim financial information is not material to the Group.

Our opinion on the consolidated Financial Results is not modified in respect of the above matter with respect to the financial information certified by the Board of Directors authorized personnel.

    1. The consolidated financial results include the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year being 15 months period ended March 31, 2023 and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022 of the current financial year, which are neither subject to limited review nor audited by us.
