We have audited the financial statements of LOGICA INFOWAY LIMITED (Erstwhile
EASTERN LOGICA INFOWAY LIMITED) ("the company"), which comprise the Balance
Sheet as of March 31, 2025, and the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Cash Flow Statement for
the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
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 financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013
("the 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
March 31, 2025, its profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis_ for Opinion:
We conducted our audit by the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company by 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 by these requirements and the ICAI's 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 financial statements.
Key Audit Matters:
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have
determined the matter described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our
report.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Annual report but does not include the
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements:
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 concerning the preparation of these financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, and financial performance of the Company by the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified
under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules,2015.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records by the provisions
of the Act for safeguarding 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 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concerned and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management 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.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 by 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 based on these financial statements.
As part of an audit by SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the
Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the
company has an adequate internal financial controls system 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 management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 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 financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of
the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work evaluating the results of our work: and (ii)
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 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.
