Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ICICI Prudential Trust Limited (the
‘ Company’), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020, the statement of
profit and loss, the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the
financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given
to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies
Act, 2013 (the ‘Act’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2020, profit and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Director’s
report and management discussion & analysis report, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Director’s report and management
discussion & analysis report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this
auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company’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 Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting
process.
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.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,
we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has
adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid financial
statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(Referred to in paragraph 1(A) (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory
Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of
ICICI Prudential Trust Limited (the ‘Company’) as of 31 March 2020 in conjunction with our
audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were
operating effectively as at 31 March 2020, based on the internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the
essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal
Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
The Company’s management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing
and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the
essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These
responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to company’s policies, the safeguarding of its
assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as
required under the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’).
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of
the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements
included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
ICICI Prudential Trust Limited
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of
controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.

c. Investments
Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year from
the date on which such investments are made are classified as current investments. All other
investments are classified as non current investments. Current investments are carried at
lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis. Long-term
investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to
recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of the investments.
d. Revenue recognition
Trusteeship fee is recognized on accrual basis, at the specific rates/ amount approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company, within the limits specified under the Deed of Trust, and is
applied on the net assets of ICICI Prudential Venture Capital Fund – Real Estate Scheme-I and
each scheme of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund.
Purchase and sale of investments are recorded on trade date. The profit/ loss on sale of
investments is recognized in the statement of profit and loss on trade date, using the
weighted average cost method.
e. Taxes on income
Tax expense comprises current tax and deferred taxes. Current income tax is measured at the
amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Income-tax Act,
1961 enacted in India.
Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable
income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that
sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can
be realized.
At each balance sheet date the Company re-assesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. It
recognizes unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be that sufficient future taxable income will be
available against which such deferred tax assets can be realized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. The
company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no
longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realized.
ICICI PRUDENTIAL TRUST LIMITED
Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually
certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank
and in hand and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
h. Provisions
Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at
each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
i. Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will
be confirmed by the occurrence or non occurrence of one or more uncertain future events
beyond the control of the company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is
not probable that an out flow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A
contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be
recognised because it cannot be measured reliably. The company does not recognize the
contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
