Auditor's Report (Idea Cellular) Year End : Mar '12
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Idea Cellular Limited
 (''the Company'') as at March 31, 2012, the Statement of Profit and
 Loss and the Cash Flow Statement of the Company for the year ended on
 that date, both annexed thereto (together referred to as ''financial
 statements''). These financial statements are the responsibility of
 the Company''s 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 misstatements. 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 the 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.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 30 to the
 financial statements, the Hon''ble Supreme Court of India, vide
 judgment dated February 2, 2012 has quashed the Press Release dated
 January 10, 2008 issued by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT)
 and consequent grant of 122 licenses. The company and erstwhile Spice
 have been issued 9 and 4 licenses respectively in January, 2008 which
 have been cancelled due to the above mentioned order of the Hon''ble
 Supreme Court.
 
 Of the 13 licenses, 7 licenses are being operated by the Company and
 balance 6 overlapping licenses have been impaired in previous financial
 years. Vide a further order dated April 24, 2012 the Supreme Court has
 allowed the company to operate these licenses upto September 7, 2012.
 The impact, if any, on the operations of the said 7 service areas and
 on the carrying values of these licenses as on March 31, 2012 amounting
 to Rs 2,778 Mn, is dependent upon the steps taken by DoT and outcome of
 the auction.
 
 4.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 32 to the
 financial statements, the Hon''ble High Court of Delhi on July 4, 2011
 has reaffirmed its order dated February 5, 2010 sanctioning the Scheme
 of Amalgamation of Spice Communications Limited (Spice) with the
 Company. However the judgment transferred & vested unto the Department
 of Telecommunications (DoT), the six telecom licenses granted to
 erstwhile Spice along with the spectrum (including two operational
 licenses for Punjab & Karnataka service areas) till the time permission
 of DoT is granted for transfer thereof upon an application from the
 Company to that effect.  The Company has filed an appeal before the
 Appellate Bench of Hon''ble High Court of Delhi, challenging the above
 judgment dated July 4, 2011.The Appellate Bench of Hon''ble High Court
 of Delhi through interim order has directed DoT to maintain status quo
 in respect of the two operational licenses for Punjab & Karnataka and
 not to take any coercive action for remaining four non-operational
 licenses.  The Appellate Bench of Hon''ble High Court of Delhi has
 reserved the judgment on the said matter.
 
 Since the matter is sub-judice, the outcome of which is uncertain at
 this stage, we are unable to comment on the consequential impact, if
 any, on the financial statements.
 
 5.  As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003,
 (''the said Order''/''CARO'') issued by the Central Government in
 terms of Section 227(4A) of the Companies Act, 1956, we enclose in the
 annexure a statement on the matters specified in the paragraphs 4 and 5
 of the said Order.
 
 6.  Further to our comments in paragraph 3 and 4 above and the Annexure

 best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our

 a) The Company has maintained proper records showing full particulars,
 including quantitative details and situation of fixed assets.

 Management in accordance with a regular programme of verification
 which, in our opinion, provides for physical verification of all the
 fixed assets at reasonable intervals. According to information and
 explanation given to us the Management is in the process of reconciling
 the results of such physical verification with the fixed assets
 register. Management believes that differences if any, arising out of
 such reconciliation are not expected to be material.
 
 c) The fixed assets disposed off during the year, in our opinion, do
 not constitute a substantial part of the fixed assets of the Company
 and such disposal has, in our opinion, not affected the going concern

 opinion that prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been
