Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows ofthe Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theAccounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue asa going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Management and Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the company's financial reporting process.Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial 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 withSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraudis 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsiblefor expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place andthe operating effectiveness of such controls;
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management;
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial statements represent 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 itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluatingthe results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify duringour audit;
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards;
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
