KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the

comprises the information included in the Management
Discussion and Analysis, Board''s Report including its
Annexures, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder''s 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 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 RESPONSIBILITIES 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,
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 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, the Board of Directors
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 the management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company''s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT
OF 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 the 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 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 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 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 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
the 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.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS

(“the Order"). Issued by the Central Government of India in
terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the Companies

Basis of Qualified Opinion

Note 33 to the financial statement, an amount of ?2,504 lakh have been withdrawn from general reserve to adjust equivalent amount with respect to write-off/ impairment loss of certain assets due to technology obsolesce and decline in future economic benefit.

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

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 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 the 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.
