2. Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial
Statements:
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated
in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect

true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the 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 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 design,
implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,
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
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 assurance about whether the financial statements are free

obtain audit evidence about the amounts and the 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, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in
place an adequate internal financial controls system over financial

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion on the standalone financial statements.
