The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Annual report, but does not include thestandalone financial statements and our auditor’s reportthereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether such other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial 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 misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these standalone financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specifiedunder section 133 of the Act read with the Companies(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable andprudent; and the design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the standalone financial statements that givea true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, managementis responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements inplace and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company’s abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosuresin the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statements
for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doing sowould reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
