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 31,2026. 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 matter

Information Technology Systems and Controls

The financial accounting and
reporting systems of the Company are
fundamentally reliant on information
technology (''IT’) systems and IT controls
to process significant transaction
volumes.

Automated accounting procedures and
IT environment controls, which include
IT governance, general IT controls over
program development and changes,
access to programs and data and IT
operations, are required to be designed
and to operate effectively to ensure
accurate financial reporting.

Our audit procedures focused on the IT
infrastructure and applications relevant to
financial reporting of the Company included
following:

• Tested the design and operating
effectiveness of the Company’s IT access
controls, including audit trail, over the
information systems that are important to
financial reporting and various interfaces,
configuration and other identified
application controls.

Information Technology Systems and Controls

Therefore, due to the pervasive nature
and complexity of the IT environment,
the assessment of the general IT controls
and the application controls specific to
the accounting and preparation of the
financial information is considered to be
a key audit matter.

• Tested IT general controls (logical access,
changes management and aspects of
IT operational controls). This included
testing requests for access to systems
were reviewed and authorized.

• Tested the Company’s periodic review
of access rights. Also tested requests
of changes to systems for approval and
authorization.

• In addition to the above, tested the design
and operating effectiveness of certain
automated controls that were considered
as key internal controls.

• Tested the design and operating
effectiveness of compensating controls
in case deficiencies were identified and,
where necessary, extended the scope of
our substantive audit procedures.

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. The Annual report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.

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 standalone
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the Annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein,
we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

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 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 charged with governance 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:

• I dentify 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, 2026 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.
