In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the

as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at March 31st 2025, its profits and its cash flows for the year ended on that date
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013(âthe Actâ). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (â ICAIâ) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and
the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAIâs Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on financial statements.
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.
We have not determined any matters to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
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 Shareholderâs Information but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 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.
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 the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 144(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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. 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 judgements 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-n of the financial statement 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, the Board of Directors are also responsible
for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities 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 auditorâs report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not guaranteed 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 based
on these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professional skepticism 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 financial controls 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
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 the Board of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 reasonable knowledgeable users 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 be reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
