We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Description of Key Audit Matters:

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition

(Refer Note no.20,29 and 47 to the Financial statements)

As per the accounting policy of the Company, the revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of goods to the customer and thus requires an estimation of the revenue taking into consideration the rebates and discounts as per the terms of the contracts.

With regard to the determination of revenue, the management is required to make significant estimates in respect of following:

• the rebates/discounts linked to sales, which will be given to the customers pursuant to schemes offered by the Company; and

• discounts offered by the customers to the ultimate consumers at the behest of the Company.

The matter has been determined to be a key audit matter in view of the involvement of significant estimates by the management.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Obtained an understanding from the management with regard to controls relating to recording of rebates and discounts and period end provisions relating to estimation of revenue, and tested the operating effectiveness of such controls;

• Tested the inputs used in the estimation of revenue in context of rebates and discounts to source data;

• Assessed the underlying assumptions used for determination of rebates and discounts;

• Ensured the completeness of liabilities recognised by evaluating the parameters for sample schemes;

• Performed look-back analysis for past trends by comparing recent actuals with the estimates of earlier periods and assessed subsequent events;

• Tested credit notes issued to customers and payments made to them during the year and subsequent to the year-end along with the terms of the related schemes.

Based on the above procedures, we did not identify any significant

deviation to the assessment made by management in respect of

estimation of rebates and discounts.

Provisions, Litigations, Claims and Contingent Liabilities: (Refer Note-16, 29 and 30)

The management is required to make judgements and estimates in relation to the issues and exposures arising from a range of matters relating to direct tax, indirect tax, general legal proceedings and other eventualities arising in the regular course of business. The Company is also subject to complexities arising from uncertain tax positions on deductibility of expenses and allowance of certain tax deductions.

The key judgement lies in determining the likelihood and magnitude of the possible cash outflows and interpretations of the legal aspects, tax legislations and judgements previously made by authorities. By nature, these are complex and include many variables.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls around the recognition and measurement of provisions.

• We inquired about the status in respect of significant provisions with the Company''s internal tax and legal team.

• We assessed the value of material provisions in light of the nature of the exposures, applicable regulations and related correspondence with the authorities.

• We challenged the assumptions and critical judgements made by the Company which impacted their estimate of provision required, considering judgements previously made by the authorities in the relevant jurisdictions or any relevant opinions given by the Company''s advisors and assessing whether there was an indication of management bias.

• We verified the calculation of provision on a test check basis.


Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditors’ Report thereon

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors'' report thereon. The Other Information is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditors'' 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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act, with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act. 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.

In preparing the financial statements, management is 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibility 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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 an adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors'' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors'' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matters:

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Revenue Recognition

(Refer Note no.21,30 and 46 to the Financial statements:

As per the accounting policy of the Company, the revenue is recognised upon transfer of control of goods to the customer and thus requires an estimation of the revenue taking into consideration the rebates and discounts as per the terms of the contracts.

With regard to the determination of revenue, the management is required to make significant estimates in respect of following:

• the rebates/ discounts linked to sales, which will be given to the customers pursuant to schemes offered by the Company; and

• discounts offered by the customers to the ultimate consumers at the behest of the Company.

The matter has been determined to be a key audit matter in view of the involvement of significant estimates by the management.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Obtained an understanding from the management with regard to controls relating to recording of rebates and discounts and period end provisions relating to estimation of revenue, and tested the operating effectiveness of such controls;

• Tested the inputs used in the estimation of revenue in context of rebates and discounts to source data;

• Assessed the underlying assumptions used for determination of rebates and discounts;

• Ensured the completeness of liabilities recognised by evaluating the parameters for sample schemes;

• Performed look-back analysis for past trends by comparing recent actuals with the estimates of earlier periods and assessed subsequent events;

• Tested credit notes issued to customers and payments made to them during the year and subsequent to the year end along with the terms of the related schemes.

Based on the above procedures, we did not identify any significant

deviation to the assessment made by management in respect of

estimation of rebates and discounts.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Provisions, Litigations, Claims and Contingent Liabilities: ( Refer Note-17,30 and 31)

The management is required to make judgements and estimates in relation to the issues and exposures arising from a range of matters relating to direct tax, indirect tax, general legal proceedings and other eventualities arising in the regular course of business. The Company is also subject to complexities arising from uncertain tax positions on deductibility of expenses and allowance of certain tax deductions.

The key judgement lies in determining the likelihood and magnitude of the possible cash outflows and interpretations of the legal aspects, tax legislations and judgements previously made by authorities. By nature, these are complex and include many variables.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls around the recognition and measurement of provisions.

• We inquired the status in respect of significant provisions with the Company''s internal tax and legal team.

• We involved our subject matter experts, wherever required, to assess the value of material provisions in light of the nature of the exposures, applicable regulations and related correspondence with the authorities.

• We challenged the assumptions and critical judgements made by the Company which impacted their estimate of provision required, considering judgements previously made by the authorities in the relevant jurisdictions or any relevant opinions given by the Company''s advisors and assessing whether there was an indication of management bias.

• We verified the calculation of provision on a test check basis.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise

professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism

throughout the audit. We also:

• 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 system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors'' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• 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.

• Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
