Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting
A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 company''s internal financial control over financial reporting 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 Company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, 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 to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting 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, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March 2018, 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 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("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 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, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provision of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application or 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
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement , whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone
financial statements based on our audit.
We have taken into account the provision of the Act, the accounting and
auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the
audit report under the provision of the Act and the Rules made
thereunder.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require
that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and the disclosure in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
Assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant
to the Company's preparation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on whether the Company has in place an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and the operating
effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of the accounting estimates made by the Company's Directors, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.

provision for Gratuity is not determined by using actuarial techniques,

with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2015 and its loss and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters in the notes to financial
statements:
(a) Note 31 in the standalone financial statements which indicate that,
balances of certain trade receivables and advances are subject to
confirmation and reconciliation. However,the management does not expect
any material variation affecting the current years financial statements
on account of such reconciliation/adjustments.Accordingly, no provision
has been made in the financial statements
(b) The investment in E-Class Education System Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company whose net worth has been fully eroded, is
carried at Rs 150,000,000/- in the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2015.
