A. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Ind ASFinancial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, 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 SAs willalways detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone IndAS Financial Statements.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern
