The Company's 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 formof assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the standalone financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Company's annual report, if based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and takenecessary actions, as applicable under the relevant rules and regulations.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state ofaffairs, profits and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance withthe accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified underSection 133 of the Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole arefree 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 SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

® Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom 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 thatare appropriate in the circumstances.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report tothe related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. 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 thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
