These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
"We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our
report”
Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, totalcomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordancewith the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the company’s financialreporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,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 SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese financial statements.
As part of an Audit in accordance with SA’s, We exercise professional judgementand maintain professional skepticism throughout the Audit. We also :
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the Financial Statements,whether due to fraud or error, design and perform, audit procedures responsive to thoserisk, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audits in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Under section 143(3)(i)of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has
adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
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 material uncertaintyexits related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companies abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosure in the financialstatement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the Audit evidence obtained upto the date of our Auditors report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlinetransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements that, individuallyor in aggregate makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our Audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among othermatters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significance deficiency in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determinethose matters that were of most significance in the Audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditors report unless law or regulations precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences for doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
