About RVNL
RVNL has an illustrious legacy spanning over more than two decades. It started
with the objective of bridging the infrastructure gap in Indian Railways by fast
track execution of Railway projects. After successfully achieving this objective
by completing more than 150 Railway projects, and successfully executing
new Railway projects under the innovative PPP model by setting up of a
number of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), RVNL today has migrated from
original mandate of ‘rail infra’ projects, to the ever expanding opportunities
of ‘All Infra’ i.e. from #LocalRailInfra to #GlobalAllInfra. Today, RVNL is fast
setting its footprints in all possible infrastructure projects, both within the
country and overseas.
Our journey began with the mission to bridge the infrastructure gap within Indian Railways by
implementing projects focused on creating and enhancing rail infrastructure capacity swiftly,
as well as securing extra-budgetary resources for Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) projects. Our
operations commenced in 2005, and since then, we have consistently earned an ‘Excellent’ rating
from the Department of Public Enterprises for consecutive years.

RVNL’s
History
RVNL was envisioned to meet the surging infrastructure demand back in 2002 by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari
Vajpayee during his historic Independence Day Address. RVNL emerged as the driving force behind the Ambitious
National Rail Vikas Yojana (NRVY).
Incorporated in 2003, RVNL embarked on a mission to transform India’s Railway landscape. With a two-fold objective –
to augment Rail infrastructure capacity and secure additional resources for critical projects, RVNL set out to bridge the
gap between potential and progress.
Over the years from #Local RailInfra RVNL has been transformed into #Global All Infra. In September 2013, RVNL
received Mini-ratna status and the turnaround happened in May 2023 when we were conferred with ‘Navratna’ status.

engagement exercise undergoes regular reviews.

8 Mechanisms to prevent adverse consequences to the complainant in discrimination and harassment cases
To avoid unfavourable outcomes in situation of harassment and discrimination, RVNL employs a number of crucial
procedures. First, keeping complainants’ identity private to protect them from reprisals and promotes reporting.
The impartiality and reliability of the results are ensured by conducting an impartial inquiry by an independent
party. Complainants are assisted in navigating the investigative process by providing them with strong support
such as counselling and legal aid. RVNL implements remedial measures, such as fines, payments, or policy
improvements, in response to verified claims. These steps guarantee fair handling of complaints. In order to create
a work environment where discrimination and harassment are not allowed, RVNL has also implemented a clear
anti-harassment policy provides thorough training and cultivates a respectful culture. Through the use of these
processes, RVNL fosters a welcoming and secure atmosphere that encourages impartial grievance investigations
and protect complainants from unfavourable outcomes.

portal, which serves as an effective mechanism for receiving complaints. Through this portal, consumers can submit
their grievances and feedback, allowing RVNL to promptly address and resolve any issues.

Auditor’s responsibility
Based on audit, our responsibility is to express an opinion on the compliance with the applicable laws and maintenance
of records by the Company. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards CSAS 1 to CSAS 4
(“CSAS”) prescribed by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (“ICSI”). These standards require that the auditor
complies with statutory and regulatory requirements and plans and performs the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about compliance with applicable laws and maintenance of records.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit including internal, financial and operating controls, there is an unavoidable
risk that some misstatements or material non-compliances may not be detected, even though the audit is properly
planned and performed in accordance with the CSAS. Our report of even date is to be read along with this letter.
1. Maintenance of secretarial records is the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these secretarial records based on our audit.
2. We have followed the audit practices and processes as were appropriate to obtain reasonable assurance about the
correctness of the contents of the secretarial records. The verification was done on the random test basis to ensure
that correct facts are reflected in secretarial records. We believe that the processes and practices, we followed
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. We have not verified the correctness and appropriateness of financial records and Books of Accounts of the company
and for which we relied on the report of statutory auditor.
4. Wherever required, we have obtained the Management representation about the compliance of laws, rules and
regulations and happening of events etc.
5. The compliance of the provisions of Corporate and other applicable laws, rules, regulations, standards is the
responsibility of management. Our examination was limited to the verification of procedures on random test basis.
6. The Secretarial Audit report is neither an assurance as to the future viability of the company nor of the efficacy or
effectiveness with which the management has conducted the affairs of the Company.

Sensitivity analysis:
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating
the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (projected
unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognised within the
statement of financial position.
As at 31 March 2024
Risk Analysis :
Company is exposed to a number of risks in the defined benefit plan which are as follows:
A) Salary Increases- Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate
assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk – If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower
than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate : Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability – Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation
can impact the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals – Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal
rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan’s liability.

Ministry of Railways has taken up the issue with Finance Ministry for issuing clarification/exemption.
Further, the matter had also been referred to Ministry of Railways for taking up the case with the Finance
Ministry Clarifications/ confirmation and resolution of issue in the best Interest both for Railways and SVPs
in this regard. During the current year, Tax Research Unit( TRU) of the Ministry of Finance, Government of
India, has conveyed the recommendations of the GST council In its 48th Meeting held on 17th December,
2022 to MOR that Indian Railways (IR) and SPV are distinct person and supply of services by SPV to
IR by way of allowing IR to use the infrastructure built and owned by them during the concession
period against consideration in form of pro rata share of revenue is a taxable supply, Similarly, service of
maintenance supplied by IR to SPV is also a taxable service.
TRU in Its decision has concluded the decision based on the fact that there is “supply of services by SPV to
IR by way of allowing IR to use the infrastructure built and owned by them during the concession period
against consideration in form of pro rata share of revenue.
However in case of company as per Clause 2.2 of concession agreement.""The Parties agree that the
Project Assets shall remain the property Assets shall remain the property of MoR, the Project Railway
being a Government Railway within the meaning of the Railway Act 1989.
It is clear from reading of above para that assets are not owned by company as well company is
Government Railway applied in case of company. Pursuant to this, MOR has made further representations
on various dates to ministry of finance, Government of India on the basis of representation made by
company requesting them to reconsider the recommendation:
Railway Board has informed to Company that in terms of the ministry of Finance Office Memorandum it
would transfer apportioned revenue to Company inclusive of GST.
Further Ministry has also issued guidelines for issuing of invoices for this transaction. Wherein it is provided
that revenue shall be inclusive of GST for example, in case of H100 as apportioned revenue.
GST shall be H15.25 and revenue shall be H 84.75 for SPVs. Company has not recorded any GST liability on
apportioned revenue and full amount recieved from railways is recorded as revenue, therefore company
reported revenue till March 2024 may be reduced in future by 15.25%(ie impact of GST liabilty).
The matter is subjudice before Hon'ble High Court of Delhi an interim stay has been awarded by Delhi
High Court, Therefore direction directions of railway board are on hold.
vi) KRCL has received claim of H1.43 Crore, towards expenditure incurred on doubling during the quarter
ending December 2023 and March 2024 from RVNL.

adjudication orders passed during the assessment proceedings for F.Y 2017-18 and F.Y 2018-19.
In respect of pending assessments, based on the experts advice company does not foresee further GST liability for the
company for the amount not exceeding H2.60 crores for the pending assessment years. Accordingly the provision of H 2.60 Crores
has been made in the financial accounts for the F.Y 2023-24 in line with the concept of conservatism and as a prudent measure.

Sensitivity analysis:
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating
the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (projected
unit credit method) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognised within the
statement of financial position.
As at 31 March 2024
Risk Analysis :
Company is exposed to a number of risks in the defined benefit plan which are as follows:
A) Salary Increases- Actual salary increases will increase the Plan’s liability. Increase in salary increase rate
assumption in future valuations will also increase the liability.
B) Investment Risk – If Plan is funded then assets liabilities mismatch & actual investment return on assets lower
than the discount rate assumed at the last valuation date can impact the liability.
C) Discount Rate : Reduction in discount rate in subsequent valuations can increase the plan’s liability.
D) Mortality & disability – Actual deaths & disability cases proving lower or higher than assumed in the valuation
can impact the liabilities.
E) Withdrawals – Actual withdrawals proving higher or lower than assumed withdrawals and change of withdrawal
rates at subsequent valuations can impact Plan’s liability.

Weaknesses
The human resource of HSRCISL is limited and is dependent on the holding company (RVNL) for manpower support
as per project requirements.
Transportation Infrastructure projects are highly capital intensive with long gestation period. As of now, HSRCISL
doesn’t have the provision to raise private equity. Hence, such projects may be dependent on availability of suitable
financing and/or funding by the holding company.
Opportunities
Transportation & other Infrastructure projects are priority projects for respective Governments and HSRCISL is an
emerging & potential name in this domain.
After Successful commissioning of PMC Contracts, HSRCISL has gained expertise and capability for Metro & Rail
projects, which will be helpful in capturing new opportunities.
Threats
The dependency for experienced of technical manpower over RVNL and other Railway bodies may put little
constraints in timely execution of projects.
Availability of adequate funds is a critical requirement for implementation of any project. As HSRCISL is a growing
entity, the time schedule of projected funds inflow, may deviate a little bit and cause similar deviation in the
project schedule.
As infrastructure projects involve Land acquisition & other critical issues, any such criticality may affect the project
cost and schedule.
The implementation of Infrastructure projects is dependent on specific policy directives of the Government of India.
HSRCISL has a robust and effective Internal Control & monitoring system. HSRCISL has an effective & comprehensive
Internal Control & Monitoring System, which covers each segment of its operations.
Human Resources
The Company has limited need-based personnel on its rolls. At present, the activities of the Company are managed by
present strength with the support of RVNL personnel on need basis. HSRCISL, being a wholly owned subsidiary of RVNL,
