that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Financial Statements and our report thereon. The Directors report, Corporate Governance report, Business
responsible report and Management Discussion and Analysis of Annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditorsâ report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes available to us and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read such other information as and when made available to us and if we conclude that there is a
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Managementâs Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind 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 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Companyâs 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 responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether standalone the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an auditorâs 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
standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment 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 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
with reference to financial statements 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 management.
⢠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.
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 standalone financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

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.
The Companyâs 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, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for

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 andin 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

appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
