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 âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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.

|

5. The Companyâs 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 standalone financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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. 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 and those charged with governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
6. The Companyâs Board of Directors is 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 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 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 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. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
8. 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 auditorâs 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.
9. 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 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 standalone 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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 auditorâs 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.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
13. As required by the Companies (Auditorâs Report) Order, 2020 (âthe Orderâ), issued by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Act, we give in the Annexure B a statement on the matters specified in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Order, to the extent applicable.

(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.

Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021 amounted to Rs. 432,924 lakhs. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The timing of such revenue recognition in case of sale of goods is when the control over the same is transferred to the customer. |
Our audit procedures included: ⢠We obtained and read a sample of customer contracts and confirmed our understanding of the Companyâs sales process from initiation to collection of receivables, including design and implementation of controls and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls. ⢠We read and understood the Companyâs accounting policy for recognition of revenue. |
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
The Company uses a variety of shipment terms with customers across its operating markets and this has an impact on the timing of revenue recognition. Given the nature of industry in which the Company operates and the variety of shipment terms with customers, along with local and global restrictions on account of the COVID-19 pandemic at the year end, ascertainment of timing of revenue recognition is a key focus area for the audit. Due to the significance of revenue and judgement involved in the timing of revenue recognition, this is considered as a key audit matter. |
⢠We performed transaction testing based on a representative sampling of the sales orders, including transactions occurring at and around the year end to assess identification and satisfaction of performance obligations for revenue recognition. We performed sales cut off procedures by agreeing deliveries occurring around the year end to supporting documentation. We also considered the impact of local and global restrictions on account of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales cut off procedures. ⢠Compared revenue with historical trends and where appropriate, conducted further enquiries and testing. ⢠We assessed the disclosures made with respect to revenue in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |

and note 39(i) (financial disclosures) and note 35 (significant judgements and estimates) to the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
The Company issues product warranties under which the performance of products delivered is generally guaranteed for a certain period or term. The reserve for product warranties includes the expected costs of warranty obligations imposed by the contract, as well as the expected costs for additional policy coverage. In addition, the Company periodically initiates voluntary service to address various customer satisfaction, safety and emissions issues related to engines sold. The estimated future costs of the service are based primarily on historical claim experience for the Companyâs engines along with the Companyâs assessment of any impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have considered this as a key audit matter on account of the significant assumptions, estimates and judgement involved in calculation of the provision which can materially affect the levels of provisions recorded in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
Our audit procedures included: ⢠We obtained understanding of the warranty process, and the assumptions used by the management in the process of calculation of warranty provision, including design and implementation of controls, testing of management review controls and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls. ⢠We evaluated managementâs methodology and assumptions used in the warranty provision calculations and assessed the impact of any changes to the terms of warranty, if any, on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. ⢠We tested completeness, arithmetical accuracy and validity of the data used in the warranty calculations. ⢠We assessed the disclosure of warranty provision made in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
Transactions with related parties (refer note 41 (financial disclosures) to the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
The Company has various related party transactions which include, amongst others, sale and purchase of goods/services, and services rendered to and received from its subsidiary, associate, joint ventures and other related parties. In view of high volume of business transactions with related parties, we identified accuracy, completeness and compliance requirements [under the provisions of the Act and Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR)] of related party transactions as a key audit matter. |
Our audit procedures included: ⢠We obtained an understanding of the Companyâs policies and procedures in respect of identification, approval, accounting and disclosure of related parties and transactions. We also understood design and implementation of controls and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls. ⢠Obtained a complete list of related parties from the management and traced the related parties to declarations given by directors, where applicable, and to note 41 of the standalone Ind AS financial statements ⢠Read minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee and assessed whether approvals have been obtained by the management, as required by Act and LODR. |

We assessed the managementâs evaluation of compliance with the provisions of Section 177 and Section 188 of the Act and LODR. |

|
⢠|
We read the status of tax assessments to assess litigations with respect to related party transactions. |
|
⢠|
We evaluated the disclosures in accordance with Ind AS 24, Related Party Disclosures, in the standalone Ind AS financial statements through review of statutory information, books and records and other documents on a test check basis. |
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Chairmanâs statement, Managing Directorâs statement, Directorâs Report including Annexures to the Directorâs Report and the Business Responsibility Report of the Annual Report of the Company, but does not include the standalone Ind AS financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS 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.
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity 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 read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 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.
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 Ind AS financial statements.
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 Ind AS 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

To the Members of Cummins India Limited
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements of Cummins India Limited ("the Companyâ), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2019, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone Ind AS financial statementsâ).
In our opinion, and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended, ("the Actâ) 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, 2019, its profit, including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the âAuditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statementsâ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the âCode of Ethicsâ 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 there under, 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 audit opinion on the standalone Ind AS 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditorâs responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Revenue recognition and recoverability of certain trade receivables (refer note 1(i) (accounting policy), note 11 and note |
|
27 (financial disclosures), note 36 (significant judgments and estimates) and note 45(b) (credit risk) to the standalone Ind AS financial statements) |
|
Revenue for the year ended March 31, 2019 amounted to Rs. 565,900 lakhs. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company uses a variety of shipment terms with customers across its operating markets and this has an impact on the timing of revenue recognition. |
Our audit procedures included: - We obtained and read customer contracts and confirmed our understanding of the Companyâs sales process from initiation to collection of receivables, including design and implementation of controls and tested the operating effectiveness of these controls. - We read and understood the Companyâs accounting policy for recognition of revenue and impairment of receivables. |
Key audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
Given the nature of industry in which the Company operates, ascertainment of timing of revenue recognition is a key audit consideration for sales transactions occurring near to the year end. Further, sales to certain customers may lead to recoverability issues due to unforeseen circumstances. The adequacy of the provision for doubtful debts is subjective due to the high degree of judgment applied by management in determining the impairment provision. Due to currency restrictions currently in certain geographies, the Central Bank has restricted remittances of USD to other countries. Consequently, this has put pressure on the Companyâs customersâ ability to repay their outstanding account balances. As at the March 31, 2019, the outstanding balances from customers in such geographies amounted to Rs. 4,220 lakhs, out of the total trade receivable balance of Rs. 127,269 lakhs. Due to the significance of revenue and judgment involved in the timing of revenue recognition, and the related estimation uncertainty in collectability due to currency restrictions in certain geographies, this is considered as a key audit matter. |
- We performed transactions testing based on a representative sampling of the sales orders to assess revenue recognition and recognition of trade receivables including transactions occurring on and around the year end. We performed sales cut off procedures by agreeing deliveries occurring around the year end to supporting documentation. - We tested the ageing of trade receivables including receivables from certain customers located in geographies where currency restrictions continued to exist as at year end. - We requested for and obtained independent balance confirmations from the Companyâs customers on sample basis. For amounts receivable from customers located in certain geographies where currency restrictions exist, we read the financial support letter obtained by the Company. For such receivables, we evaluated compliance with FEMA regulations relating to realization and repatriation of foreign currency proceeds. - We assessed the trade receivables impairment methodology applied in the current year, and compared the Companyâs provisioning rates against historical collection data. We assessed whether the time value of money was considered in the expected credit loss impairment model and tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations. - We also performed various analytical procedures to identify any unusual sales trends for further testing. |

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of Cummins India Limited ("the Companyâ) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
Managementâs Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
The Companyâs Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Noteâ), issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Companyâs policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Act.
Auditorâs Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companyâs internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and, both issued by the ICAI. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditorâs judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companyâs internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companyâs assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting with Reference to these Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these standalone Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note issued by the ICAI.
