made under ‘contingent liabilities’ and ‘provisions’ in the
financial statements.

1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of Amanta Healthcare Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026,
and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other
Comprehensive Income), the Statement of Changes in
Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year
then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including material accounting policy information and
other explanatory information.

2. 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,
2026, and total comprehensive income (comprising of
profit and other comprehensive income), changes in
equity and its cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. 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 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.

Key audit matter

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement, were of most significance
in our audit of the financial statements of the current
period. These matters were addressed in the context
of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and
in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

Other Information

5. 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. The annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the 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 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 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 appropriate action as
applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with

governance for the financial statements

6. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian
Accounting Standards 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 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.

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

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements

9. 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
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 financial statements.

10. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism 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 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 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

(either from borrowed funds or share
premium or any other sources or kind
of funds) by the Company to or in any
other persons or entities, including
foreign entities (“Intermediaries”), with
the understanding, whether recorded
in writing or otherwise, that the
Intermediary shall, whether directly or
indirectly, lend or invest in other persons
or entities identified in any manner
whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Company (“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or
provide any guarantee, security or the like
on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;

(b) The management has represented
that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief, as disclosed in the Note 48(j) to
the financial statements, no funds have
been received by the Company from any
persons or entities, including foreign
entities (“Funding Parties”), with the
understanding, whether recorded in
writing or otherwise, that the Company
shall, whether directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Funding Party
(“Ultimate Beneficiaries”) or provide any
guarantee, security or the like on behalf
of the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and

(c) Based on such audit procedures that we
considered reasonable and appropriate
in the circumstances, nothing has come
to our notice that has caused us to
believe that the representations under
sub-clause (a) and (b) contain any
material misstatement.

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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

the extent applicable.

15. As required by Section 143(3) of the Act, we report that:

Companies (Audit and Auditors Rules, 2014 (as

pending litigations on its financial position in
its financial statements - Refer Note 37(c) to
the financial statements.

a provision as at March 31, 2026 under

accounting software for maintaining its
books of account which has a feature

relevant transactions recorded in the
software at application layer. In absence
of sufficient evidence, we are unable to

the aforesaid instances of audit trail not
enabled/maintained where the question
of our commenting does not arise, we did

being tampered with. Further, the audit

as per the statutory requirements for
record retention.

16. The Company has paid/ provided for managerial
remuneration in accordance with the requisite
