Assessment of carrying value of equity investment in POI India Ltd.
(Refer Note No. 30 (a) Exceptional items)
The Company had made a strategic investment of 11,00,00,000/- in POL India Projects Limited in FY 2007-08. Based on current management assessment and supporting documentation, the investee has gone into liquidation, and there is no reasonable expectation of recovering any amount.
This investment had been erroneously shown as "Capital Loss-Miscellaneous Expenditure" under "Other Non-Current Assets" in prior years, contrary to the recognition and classification principles under Ind AS.
In FY 2024-25, the Company has corrected the presentation and accounting treatment. The investment has been fully impaired and the loss has been recognised under "Loss on impairment of investments" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
This revision was done in compliance with Ind AS 36 (Impairment of Assets) and Ind AS 109 (Financial Instruments).
|
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Obtained an understanding from the management, assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's key controls over the impairment assessment and fair valuation of material investments.
• Book value of the investments in POL India Ltd. as compared to the carrying amount.
• Assessed the carrying value/fair value calculations of all individually material investments, where applicable, to determine whether the valuations performed by the Company were within an acceptable range determined by us and the auditor's valuation experts.
• Evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in the Standalone Financial Statements
Based on the information and explanations obtained as above, we concluded that the Management's judgement regarding indication of impairment in certain investments during the year is appropriate. Where there is indication of impairment, we examined the approach taken by management to determine the value of the investments, analysed the methods and assumptions applied by management to carry out the impairment test and the reports obtained from the experts in valuation.

(Refer Note No. 30 (a) Exceptional items)
During prior years, the Company had made:

• An investment of 8,447/-.
These were erroneously disclosed under the head ''Capital Loss - Miscellaneous Expenditure" under "Other Non-Current Assets" in the financial statements for FY 2019-20.
In FY 2024-25, based on management assessment of recoverability and corroborative evidence indicating the amounts are irrecoverable, the Company has:
• Corrected the classification and accounting treatment;
• Fully written off the amounts; and
• Appropriately recognised the total amount of 43,58,447/- as "Loss on Non-Recovery of Advance" in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
This adjustment is stated to be in compliance with Ind AS (including Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments) and enhances fair presentation of the financial statements.

• We reviewed supporting documents and correspondence related to the advance and investment, and obtained management's written representation on recoverability.
• Verified the original classification and the reversal entries in the current year's general ledger.
• Evaluated the Company's application of Ind AS 109 for derecognition and write-off of financial assets.
• Ensured that the reclassification and disclosures in Note 30 of the financial statements were accurate and appropriate.
Based on our audit procedures, we found the accounting treatment, write-off recognition, and disclosure to be compliant with applicable Ind AS and fairly presented.

Initially, the transactions were accounted as service expenses or advances for business purposes. However, based on communications from statutory authorities (including notices under GST Section 73(5)), internal investigations, and lack of service deliverables or traceability of vendors, the Company determined the amounts to be non-recoverable. The entire value was written off as "Loss incurred on account of vendor-related irregularities" under ’Exceptional
