Auditor's Report (Reliance Infrastructure) Year End : Mar '12
1.  We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Reliance
 Infrastructure Limited (the Company) as at March 31, 2012, the
 related Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow Statement for the
 year ended on that date annexed thereto, which we have signed under
 reference to this report. 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 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 (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2003, as
 amended by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) (Amendment) Order, 2004
 (together the Order), issued by the Central Government of India in
 terms of sub-section (4A) of Section 227 of ''The Companies Act, 1956''
 (the ''Act'') and on the basis of such checks of the books and records of
 the Company as we considered appropriate and according to the
 information and explanations given to us, we give 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. 35 of
 the financial statements regarding the Scheme of amalgamation between
 Reliance Infraprojects Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of the Company)
 and the Company, sanctioned by the Hon''ble High Court of Judicature at
 Bombay vide order dated March 30, 201 1, wherein the Company, as
 determined by its Board of Directors, is permitted to adjust the
 exceptional items debited to the Statement of Profit and Loss by a
 corresponding withdrawal from ''Provision for Extraordinary and
 Exceptional items'' created out of General Reserve, which override the
 relevant provisions of Accounting Standard 5 (AS-5) ''Net Profit or loss
 for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies''.
 The Company has during the year identified exceptional items
 aggregating to Rs. 933.42 Crore which has been debited to Statement of
 Profit and Loss and an equivalent amount has been withdrawn from the
 Provision for Extraordinary and Exceptional items and credited to
 Statement of Profit and Loss as per the Scheme.  Had the Scheme not
 prescribed the above treatment, profit before tax would have been lower
 by Rs. 933.42 Crore and General Reserve would have been higher by
 equivalent amount.
 
 5.  Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note no. 34 of
 the financial statements detailing the accounting treatment given to
 the Scheme of arrangement between five wholly owned subsidiaries and
 the Company and demerger of container business of another wholly owned
 subsidiary in the Company, sanctioned by Hon''ble High Court of
 Judicature at Bombay vide order dated April 20, 2012.  Pursuant to the
 Scheme, all assets and liabilities (Net) amounting to Rs. 1,212.60 Crore,
 of the subsidiaries have been recorded in the books of the Company at
 their respective book value, and corresponding equivalent amount is
 credited to the Capital Reserve and the Company has written off the
 investments held in five subsidiaries amounting to Rs. 987 Crore in the
 Statement of Profit and loss and an equivalent amount has been
 withdrawn from General reserve. Had the Scheme not prescribed the above
 accounting treatment, General Reserve would have been higher by Rs.
 1,212.60 Crore and Capital Reserve would have been lower by an
 equivalent amount.
 
 6.  Further to our comments in the Annexure referred to in paragraph 3,
 4 & 5 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;

 assets.
 
 (b) As informed to us, the fixed assets are physically verified by the
 Management according to a phased program designed to cover all the

 having regard to the size of the Company and the nature of its assets.
 Pursuant to the program, a portion of the fixed assets has been
 physically verified by the Management during the year and no material
 discrepancies between the book records and the physical inventory have
 been noticed. However, we are informed that distribution system being
 underground is not physically verifiable.

 given to us, a substantial part of fixed assets has not been disposed
 of by the Company during the year.

 physically verified by the Management during the year. In respect of
 inventory lying with third parties, these have substantially been
 confirmed by them. In our opinion, the frequency of verification is
 reasonable.
 
 (b) In our opinion, 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.
 
 (c) On the basis of our examination of the inventory records, in our
 opinion, the Company is maintaining proper records of inventory. The
 discrepancies noticed on physical verification of inventory as compared
 to book records were not material.
 
 (iii) The Company has neither granted nor taken any loan, secured or
 unsecured, from any company, firm or other party covered in the
 register maintained under Section 301 of the Act. Accordingly,
 provisions of clause 4(iii)(b)(c)(d)(f) and (g) of the Order are not
 applicable.
 
 (iv) In our opinion and according to the information and explanations
 given to us, 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, fixed assets and for the sale of goods and
 services. Further, on the basis of our examination of the books and
 records of the Company, and according to the information and
 explanations given to us, we have neither come across nor have been
 informed of any continuing failure to correct major weaknesses in the
 aforesaid internal control system.
 
 (v) According to the information and explanations given to us, there
 have been no contracts or arrangements referred to in Section 301 of
 the Act during the year to be entered in the register required to be

 on transactions made in pursuance of such contracts or arrangements
 does not arise.
 
 (vi) The Company has not accepted any deposits from the public within
 the meaning of Sections 58A and 58AA of the Act and the rules framed
 there under.
 
 (vii) In our opinion, the Company has an internal audit system

 Company in respect of products where, pursuant to the Rules made by the
 Central Government of India, the maintenance of cost records has been
 prescribed under clause (d) of sub-section (1) of Section 209 of the
 Act, and are of the opinion that prima facie, the prescribed accounts
 and records have been made and maintained. We have not, however, made a
 detailed examination of the records with a view to determine whether
 they are accurate or complete.
