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. 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
Standalone 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence
obtained by the other auditors in terms of their reports
referred to in ''Other Matters'' section below is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the
Standalone Financial Statements.

judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements of the current year

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITOR''S REPORT
THEREON

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Board''s report but does not
include the Standalone Financial Statements and our
Independent Auditors'' Report thereon. Our opinion on the
Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other
information and we do not and will not express any form of
assurance or conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
Financial Statements, or our knowledge obtained in the
audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other
information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor''s
report, 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND
THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE
STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 (“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, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the accounting Standards 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 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 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.

The Board of Directors is 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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.

4. 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.

5. 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.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of
a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone 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 Standalone Financial
Statements of the current year and are therefore 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 out weigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

OTHER MATTERS

1. We did not audit the financial statements / financial
information of 22 branches included in the Standalone
Financial Statements of the Company whose financial
statements / financial information reflect total assets
as at March 31,2025 of
'' 1,047.98 crores, total revenues
of
'' 1,019.26 crores and net cash flows of '' (8.20)
crores for the year ended on that date, as considered
in the Standalone Financial Statements. The financial
statements / financial information of these branches
have been audited by the branch auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us and our opinion in so far as
it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in
respect of these branches and our report in terms of
sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Act, in so far as it
relates to the aforesaid branches is based solely on the
reports of such branch auditors.

2. All the above stated branches are located outside
India, the audited financials stated above have been
audited by other auditors under generally accepted
auditing standards applicable in their respective
countries. The Company''s management has converted

accepted in their respective countries to accounting
principles generally accepted in India so as to make
these financial statements fit for consolidation. We have
audited these conversion adjustments made by the
Company''s management. Our audit report in so far as
it relates to the balances and affairs of such branches

located outside India is based on the reports of other
auditors and the conversion adjustments prepared by
the management of the Company and audited by us.
