 presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for

 Annexure to Auditors'' Report - 31st March, 2011
 
 With reference to the Annexure referred to in the Auditors'' Report to
 the Members of Reliance Communications Limited (''the Company'') on the
 financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2011, we report the
 following:
 
 1.  (a) The Company is in the process of updating its fixed asset
 register including, to give effect to the assets transferred on
 demerger of the optical fibre undertaking and the passive infrastructure
 to a subsidiary company.
 
 (b) We are informed that the Company physically verifies its assets over
 a three year period, except for base trans-receiver stations. We are
 informed that these assets are under continuous operational
 surveillance at National Network Operating Centre and are therefore not
 separately physically verified. In our opinion, this periodicity of
 physical verification is reasonable having regard to the size of the
 Company and the nature of its assets. In accordance with this policy,
 the Company has physically verified certain fixed assets during the year.
 
 (c) Fixed assets disposed off during the year were not substantial and,
 therefore, do not affect the going concern assumption.
 
 2.  (a) The inventory has been physically verified by management during
 the current year. In our opinion, the frequency of such verification is
 reasonable.
 
 (b) The procedures for the physical verification of inventories followed
 by management are reasonable and adequate in relation to the size of
 the Company and the nature of its business.
 
 (c) The Company is maintaining proper records of inventory.
 Discrepancies identifed on physical verification of inventories as
 compared to book records were not material.
 
 3.  The Company has neither granted nor taken any loans, secured or
 unsecured, to or from companies, firms or other parties covered in the
 register maintained under section 301 of the Companies Act, 1956.
 Accordingly, paragraph 4(iii) of the Order is not applicable.
 
 4.  In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, and having regard to the explanation that purchases of
 certain items of inventories and fixed assets are for the Company''s
 specialised requirements for which suitable alternative sources are not
 available to obtain comparable quotations, there is an adequate
 internal control system commensurate with the size of the Company and
 nature of its business with regard to the purchase of inventories and
 fixed assets and with regard to the sale of services. In our opinion,
 activities of the Company do not involve sale of goods. In our opinion,
 and according to the information and explanations given to us, there is
 no continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in the internal
 control system.
 
 5.  In our opinion, and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, there are no contracts and arrangements the particulars of

 Company pursuant to the rules prescribed by the Central Government for

 Act, 1956 in respect of telecommunication activities and are of the
 opinion that prima facie, the prescribed accounts and records have been
 made and maintained. However, we have not made a detailed examination
 of the records.
