cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards
specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial control
that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view

Auditor''''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone
Financial Statements based on our audit. We have taken into account the
provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and
matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder. We conducted our
audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, as specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal financial control relevant to the Company''''s
preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by the Company''''s Directors, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone Financial
Statements.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of HCL
Technologies Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance Sheet
as at June 30, 2014, and the Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash Flow
Statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of these financial
statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
accounting standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956, read with
General Circular 08/2014 dated 4 April 2014 issued by the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs. This responsibility includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
Auditor''s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor''s judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Company''s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity''s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the
explanations given to us, the financial statements give the information
required by the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India:
(a) in the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at June 30, 2014;
(b) in the case of the Statement of Profit and Loss, of the profit for
the year ended on that date; and
(c) in the case of the Cash Flow Statement, of the cash flows for the
year ended on that date.
