Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does notcover the other information and we will not express any formof assurance conclusion thereon.

When we read the Directors' report and Corporate GovernanceReport if we conclude that there is a material misstatementtherein, we are required to communicate the matter to thosecharged with Governance. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
Management's Responsibility for the standalone financialStatements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect tothe preparation of these standalone financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the INDAS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.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 implementationand maintenance of accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuringthe accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are freefrom 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.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing theCompany's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the standaloneFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe standalone financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controlrelevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls withreference to standalone financial statements in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thestandalone financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in the standalonefinancial statements.
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, and whereapplicable, 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 statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
