Webelieve that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in formingour opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information andwe do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is toread the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalonefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatementof this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) ofthe Companies Act, 2013 ("The Act") with respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India including accounting standards referred to in section 133 of theCompanies Act,2013 ("The Act") as applicable. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingthe assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessingthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
Boards of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements 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 highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) ofthe Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statements, or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
