INDEPENDENT AUDITOR''S REPORT

To the Members of NIIT Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements


Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of NIIT Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the
Balance sheet as at March 31 2023, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive
Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of
affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2023, its loss including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes
in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as
specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 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 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 the standalone financial statements.

Emphasis of Matter- Composite Scheme of Arrangement

We draw attention to Note 38 of the standalone financial statements regarding accounting of demerger of CLG Business
Undertaking of the Company into NIIT Learning Systems Limited under the Composite Scheme of Arrangement (the ''Scheme'')
approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (''NCLT''). In accordance with the provisions of Indian Accounting Standards
("Ind AS") notified under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, the demerger should have
been accounted for from the date of transfer of control. However, the same has been accounted for with effect from appointed
date i.e. April 01,2022, in accordance with the Scheme.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that
context

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have
fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements
section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results
of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit
opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Other Information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Annual report but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income, 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) specified under
section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 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 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.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 the 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 standalone 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 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 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 auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

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 standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2023 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.

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial statements of NIIT Limited ("the Company"), which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31,2022, the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013, as amended ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2022, its profit including other comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ''Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone 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 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 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 the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor''s responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures, performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Revenue recognition and recoverability from trade receivables and unbilled revenue (refer to the summary of significant accounting policies in point 2(d), (j) (iii) and (l) and the disclosure in note 8(ii), 8(iii) and 17 of the standalone financial statements)

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue from long-term and fixed-price projects. Estimation of effort is a critical estimate to determine revenues for fixed-price contracts. This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty as it requires consideration of the progress of the contract, efforts incurred to date, and efforts required to complete the remaining contract performance obligations. Some of the contracts have complex terms and conditions requiring management analysis, judgement and application of guidance for appropriate recognition of revenue and the corresponding balances of accounts receivables, unbilled revenues and deferred revenues.

In consideration of certain key judgements and principles used for the recognition of revenue we have identified this matter to be a key audit matter.

Further, the Company has a significant amount of trade receivables and unbilled revenue of Rs. 1,048.38 Mn in the balance sheet. The Company has determined the allowance for the expected credit losses based on historical loss experience adjusted to reflect current and estimated future economic conditions. We focused on this risk as the balances are material and there are significant judgments involved in assessing the recoverability of trade receivables and unbilled revenue for calculating the expected credit losses.

Our audit procedures included the following:

We have performed a walkthrough and obtained an understanding of the process and tested the operating effectiveness of key controls associated with the revenue recognition and accounts receivable process.

We made enquiries of management and analysed contracts on sample basis to evaluate revenue recognition in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. We have:

• Assessed the Company''s accounting policies relating to revenue recognition;

• Checked the revenue recognition from fixed-price contracts by reading the supporting documents including inspection of contracts / statement of work/purchase orders from customers and documents evidencing delivery, on a test check basis;

• Checked, pre and post-year end, sample of revenue recognized, with the supporting documents;

• Circulated the confirmations for outstanding trade receivables on sample basis on year-end, and performed alternate procedures for the confirmations not received;

• We have obtained calculation of estimated efforts budgeted by management and performed a comparative analysis to the actual efforts;

• Tested the ageing of trade receivables for a sample of invoices;

• Checked the subsequent collection made from the trade receivables and subsequent billing for unbilled revenue and inquired of management for the reasons for any long outstanding amounts and correspondences with the customers;

• Checked the calculation of the expected credit loss model, based upon the past trend and forward-looking scenarios and ensured that recognition of the calculation of expected credit loss is in accordance with the provision of Ind AS 109;

• Tested the journal entries impacting revenue, using data extracted from the accounting system, made in the preparation of the Standalone financial statements;

• Checked the adequacy of disclosure given in the Standalone financial statement for compliance with the Accounting Standards.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Impairment of investments (refer to the summary of significant accounting policies in point 2(j) and the disclosure in note 8(i) of the standalone financial statements)

The Company has a net investment of Rs. 2,269. 36 Mn in subsidiaries.

Annually, the management assesses the existence of impairment indicators for each non-current investment and in case of occurrence, such investments are subjected to an impairment test.

As at the reporting date, the Company has investments in certain subsidiaries, of which, the management has identified impairment indicators such as net worth erosion and loss in the current year, in respect of certain investments in subsidiaries.

Accordingly, investments have been tested for impairment as at year-end in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (''Ind AS'') 36, "Impairment of Assets".

Based on the management''s assessment, no impairment provisions has been recorded in the books for the year ended.

Accordingly, the determination of indicators of impairment as well as the recoverable amounts of investments in subsidiaries was considered to be a key audit matter in our audit of the standalone financial statements.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Assessed the Company''s valuation methodology applied in determining the recoverable amount;

• We have obtained financial statements of subsidiaries from the management and assessed impairment indicators in accordance with Ind AS 36;

• Assessed the assumptions used in determining cash flow forecasts, discount rates, expected growth rates and terminal growth rates used;

• Assessed historical accuracy of management''s budgets and forecasts by comparing them to actual performance;

• Assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used;

• Discussed potential changes in assumptions as compared to previous year / actual performance with management in order to evaluate the inputs and assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts;

• Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models;

• Checked the disclosure given in the Standalone financial statement for compliance with the Accounting Standards.

Impairment of intangible assets (refer to the summary of significant accounting policies in point 2(q) and the disclosure in note 5(i) of the standalone financial statements)

Annually, the management assesses the impairment of internally generated intangible assets for each cashgenerating Unit (CGU) for an impairment test.

As at the reporting date, the Company has internally generated intangible assets (including intangible assets under development) for which management has evaluated future economic benefits in accordance with Indian Accounting Standard (''Ind AS'') 36, "Impairment of Assets".

In consideration of the judgments required in particular with reference to the forecast of CGU cash flows and the assumptions used in estimating the value-in-use of these intangible assets, we have identified this matter to be a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included the following:

We assessed the key information used in determining the

valuation including the weighted average cost of capital, cash

flow forecasts and the implicit growth. We have:

• Assessed the Company''s valuation methodology applied in determining the value in use;

• Inspected and assessed management''s most recent forecasts and the underlying assumptions/calculations having considered information on capacity, and expected growth rates from recent industry sources;

• Assessed historical accuracy of management''s budgets and forecasts by comparing them to actual performance;

• Assessed the recoverable value headroom by performing sensitivity testing of key assumptions used;

• Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the models;

• Checked the disclosure given in Standalone financial statement for compliance with the Accounting standards;

• Obtained management''s most recent financial results forecasts and liquidity analysis underlying their impairment assessment and tested the integrity of the forecasts, including mathematical accuracy;

• Assessed potential changes in key drivers with management in order to evaluate whether the inputs and assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts were suitable.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Recoverability of deferred tax assets (refer to the summary of significant accounting policies in point 2(g) and the disclosure in note 9(i) of the standalone financial statements)

The Company has recognized deferred tax assets of Rs. 245.13 Mn on timing differences. There is inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting future taxable profits, which determines the extent to which deferred tax assets are recognized.

The analysis of the recoverability of such deferred tax assets has been identified as a key audit matter because the assessment process involves judgement regarding the future profitability and the likelihood of the realization of these assets, in particular whether there will be taxable profits in future periods that support the recognition of these assets.

There is an inherent uncertainty involved in forecasting future taxable profits, which determines the extent to which deferred tax assets are recognized. We have identified this matter to be a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Checked management''s calculation of the Deferred tax assets and the key assumptions used;

• Evaluated the design and implementation of key controls relating to calculation of deferred tax asset;

• Checked the basis for estimating projected future profits and evaluated the assumptions used by management in these profit forecasts;

• Tested the tax adjustments, with the support from tax specialists, which are taken into account to estimate taxable income, applicable tax legislation and the decisions concerning the possibilities of using applicable tax benefits with respect to the Group entities;

• Performed sensitivity analysis on projections used for determining future taxable income to understand and challenge the key assumptions used by management;

• Tested the arithmetical accuracy of the deferred tax calculation;

• Checked the disclosure given in the Standalone financial statement for compliance with the Accounting Standards.

We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other Information

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management for the Standalone 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive loss, 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) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 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 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.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 the 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 standalone 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 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 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 auditor''s 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 standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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 standalone financial statements for the financial year ended March 31,2022 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of NIIT Limited ("the Company") as at March 31, 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date. Management''s Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company''s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the Company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor''s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements. Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements includes those policies and procedures that:- (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements and such internal financial controls over financial reporting with reference to these Ind AS financial statements were operating effectively as at March 31, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control
stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal

and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Act.

Auditors'' Responsibility

3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on

Reporting (the"Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls and both

5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

6. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

8. In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial
reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2016, based on
the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India Referred to in paragraph 9 of the Independent Auditors'' Report of even date to the
