RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE
CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE
IND AS 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 Ind AS
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company and
changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section
133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standard) 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 judgements 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 charged with governance are also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the Standalone Ind AS 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
Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone
Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial
Statements for the financial year ended 31^st March 2025
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.

financial information, in respect of three partnership

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE IND AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) 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 judgements 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE IND AS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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 Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31^st March 2024 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.
