These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of thestandalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters.
We draw attention to Note No 2.22 in the financial statements wherein the Company has disclosed the impactof various litigations on its current and future financial performance. Considering the uncertainties involve inthe future outcome of such proceeding scenario which a based on various external factors outside the control ofthe Company, the management’s assumptions and estimates on operational and financial performance of theCompany would largely depend on future developments as they emerged as stated in the said note.

Board’s Report including annexures toBoard’s Report and Report on Corporate Governance but does not include the standalone and consolidate

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we arerequired to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act2013, with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes inequity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under the Act read with rules framed thereunder asapplicable.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless the Board of Director’s either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceasethe operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Thus Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit concluded inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatements when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error 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 financial statements.
As a part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements , whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate 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, as fraud may involvecollusion forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves the fair presentation.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
• We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh thepublic interest benefits of such communication.
