1. We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of DLF Limited, (the
Company) as at March 31, 2011, and the Profit and Loss Account and
also the Cash Flow Statement for the year ended on that date annexed
thereto (collectively referred as the Financial Statements). These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
2. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards
generally accepted in India. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
3. As required by the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2003 (the
Order) (as amended), issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of the Companies Act, 1956
(the Act), we enclose in the Annexure a statement on the matters
specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Order.
4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note No. 29 of
Schedule 25 of the accompanying financial statements in respect of
certain income tax and other matters. Based on the advice from
independent experts on the respective matters, management is confident
that no liabilities or other obligations resulting in a financial
impact, other than those already recognised, will devolve on the
Company. There exists however uncertainty in respect of the final
resolution of these material matters, and the resultant financial
adjustments if any, will be recorded in the periods in which these
matters are resolved.
5. Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to above, we
report that:
a) We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the
best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our
audit;
b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been
kept by the Company so far as appears from our examination of those
books;
c) The financial statements dealt with by this report are in agreement
with the books of account;
d) On the basis of written representations received from the directors,
as on March 31, 2011 and taken on record by the Board of Directors, we
report that none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2011
from being appointed as a director in terms of clause (g) of
sub-section (1) of Section 274 of the Act; and
e) In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to
the explanations given to us, the financial statements dealt with by
this report comply with the accounting standards referred to in
sub-section (3C) of Section 211 of the Act and the Rules framed there
under and give the information required by the Act, in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, in the case of:- i)
the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March
31, 2011; ii) the Profit and Loss Account, of the profit for the year
ended on that date; and iii) the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows
for the year ended on that date.

(i) (a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full
particulars, including quantitative details and situation of fixed
assets.
(b) A major portion of the fixed assets has been physically verified by

were noticed on such verification.
(c) In our opinion, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been
disposed off during the year.
(ii) (a) The inventory includes land, completed buildings, construction

management.
(b) The procedures of physical verification of inventory followed by
the management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of
the Company and the nature of its business.

lacs.
(b) In our opinion, the rate of interest and other terms and conditions
of such loans are not, prima facie, prejudicial to the interest of the
Company.

demand in accordance with the terms and conditions, and payment of
interest has been regular in accordance with such terms and conditions.
(d) There is no amount overdue in respect of loans granted to

under Section 301 of the Act.
(e) The Company has not taken any loans, secured or unsecured from
companies, firms or other parties covered in the register maintained
under Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly, the provisions of clauses
4(iii) (f) and 4(iii)(g) of the Order are not applicable.
(iv) In our opinion, there is an adequate internal control system
commensurate with the size of the Company and the nature of its
business for the purchase of inventory and fixed assets and for the
sale of goods and services.
(v) (a) In our opinion, the particulars of all contracts or
arrangements that need to be entered into the register maintained under
Section 301 of the Act have been so entered.
(b) In our opinion, the transactions made in pursuance of such
contracts or arrangements and exceeding the value of rupees five lakhs
in respect of any party during the year have been made at prices which
are reasonable having regard to prevailing market prices at the
relevant time.
(vi) Based on an independent legal opinion obtained by the Company and
relied upon by the auditors, the debentures issued by the Company to a
private Company are exempt under Section 58A and 58AA of the Act and
the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 1975. Accordingly, the
provisions of clause 4(vi) of the Order are not applicable.
(vii) In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system
commensurate with its size and the nature of its business.

Company pursuant to the Rules made by the Central Government under
Section 209(1)(d) of the Act for the maintenance of cost records in
respect of generation and sale of electricity from the Companys wind

prescribed accounts and records have been made and maintained. However,
we have not made a detailed examination of the records with a view to
determine whether they are accurate or complete.

education and protection fund, employees state insurance, income-tax,

than six months from the date they became payable.
