In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanationsand management representation letter given to us, the aforesaid financial statementsgive the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) in the mannerso required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian AccountingStandards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as atMarch 31, 2024, the Loss and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and itscash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standardson Auditing (“SA” s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilitiesunder those Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for theAudit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of theCompany in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of CharteredAccountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevantto our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rulesmade thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe thatthe audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forour audit opinion on the financial statements.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements thatgive a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, includingother comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted inIndia. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selectionand application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparationand presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional Skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit inorder to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Undersection143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls systemin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of areasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope ofour audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii)to evaluate theeffect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

We describe thesematters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
