We have audited the standalone financial statements
of KFin Technologies Limited (the “Company”) which
comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March
2026, and the standalone statement of profit and loss
(including other comprehensive income), standalone
statement of changes in equity and standalone
statement of cash flows for the year then ended,
and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including material accounting policies and other
explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
standalone financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31
March 2026, and its profit and other comprehensive
income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the
year ended on that date.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are
further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements 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 standalone 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 on the standalone financial statements.

EMPHASIS OF MATTER

We draw attention to Note 34 of the standalone financial
statements. The pre-amalgamated Company acted as
the Registrar and Transfer Agent (“RTA”) of a former client
(“the Client”) until 5 April 2021. The Client had a demat
account with one of the Depository Participants (“DP”)
for depositing its shares in escrow for the purposes of its
initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company subsequently
identified that 1,294,489 shares were transferred by
the DP, in the years 2011 and 2020, from the said escrow
account of the Client to the DP's own demat account
and to a third party's demat account through an off-
market transaction, without authorisation from the
Client. Based on legal advice and in good faith, the
Board of Directors of the Company approved the
transfer of 1,294,489 shares back to the Client's escrow
account, without admission of fault. In accordance
with the indemnity clause contained in the related
share subscription agreement dated 28 May 2021, these
amounts were recovered from such parties. Further, the
dividend of INR 4.08 million received on these shares
during the financial year 2021-22 was also transferred
to the Client.

As at 31 March 2026, the Company has recognised a
provision of INR 90.09 million in the standalone financial
statements towards potential claims by the Client,
including claims relating to dividends on such shares
for earlier periods. Pending final settlement of the
terms with the Client, the provision has been measured
at management's best estimate. Upon conclusion
of the settlement, the Company intends to initiate
proceedings against the concerned parties, including
certain minority shareholders, to recover amounts paid
or payable in connection with this matter.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement, 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 as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

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 annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and auditor's report thereon. The annual
report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 the annual report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged

with governance and take necessary actions, as
applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

MANAGEMENTS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS'
RESPONSIBILITIES 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 state of affairs, profit/ loss
and other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 judgements 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, the
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 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 is also 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 judgement and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 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.

• 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
Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the
Management and Board of Directors use of the
going concern basis of accounting in preparation
of standalone 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 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.

• 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.

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.
