1.·Launch of C-DOT Video Conferencing Tool

In line with the push towards greater self-reliance, C-DOT has developed a secure video-conferencing platform for use by the government
and other strategic sectors. The need for an indigenous platform was felt during the Covid-19 outbreak, which resulted in a nationwide
lockdown. Given the likelihood of the "new normal" in the post-coronavirus era, VCs would be required for the functioning of most
government departments.

The VC solution was officially launched by Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, Hon'ble Minster of Communications and Shri Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre,
Minister of State on 22nd May 2020. The solution was officially inaugurated by holding a Video Conference meeting with 23 Chief Post
Masters General (CPMsG) from Department of Posts across India.

2.·Launch of 'Five Star Villages Scheme' through C-DOT VC solution

Shri Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre, Hon'ble Minister of State, for Education, Communications, Electronics & IT, and Government of India
launched the 'Five Star Villages Scheme' through Department of Posts to ensure universal coverage of flagship postal schemes in rural
areas of the country. The scheme seeks to bridge the gaps in public awareness and reach of postal products and services, especially in
interior villages.

The whole launch was done through C-DOT VC solution on 10th September 2020 which is already in extensive use in the Department of
Posts.

Societies Registration Act XXI 1860 bearing regn. no S/14839 of 1984 (the society), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March
2021 and the Income & Expenditure for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the society as at March 31, 2021,
and of its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the Accounting Standards issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by ICAI. Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the
entity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to:

l Note 4(b)(i) that outstanding dues amounting to Rs.3283.05 lakhs included in Sundry debtors, due from one of the licensees, were to
be adjusted by transfer of land and building at Bangalore unit. The status continues from the year 2004-05.

l Note No.4(b)(ii) that Sundry debtors of Rs.15,054.91 lakhs, have remain unconfirmed, and most of dues are from PSU's and Govt.
Agencies recovery of which are being under Synergy initiative of ministry , hence considered good.

l Note No 5 that inventory comprises of spares which are intended to be used in in-house research & development.

l Note no 8, that revenue is recognized when it is not unreasonable to expect ultimate collection.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the aforesaid
Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the society's ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the society or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the society's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
