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
âAuditorâs responsibilities for the Audit of Standalone Financial Statementsâ 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 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
opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Other Information
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include the Standalone
financial statements and our auditorâs report thereon. The Companyâs annual report is expected to be made
available to us after the date of this auditorâs 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 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, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information; we are required communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary
actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with the governance for the Standalone
F inancial Statement
The Companyâs Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134 (5) of the Act with
respect to the preparation and presentation 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 specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7
of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 and the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rule, 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 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
statement that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs 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 are also responsible for overseeing the companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorâs Responsibilities for the Audit of 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 auditorâs 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
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 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 with reference to standalone 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 managementâs and Board of Directors 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 Companyâs ability to continue as
a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditorâs 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 auditorâs 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 Standalone F inancial Statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of reasonably knowledgeable user of Standalone
Financials Results 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 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with 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.
