Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. 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.

The otherinformation comprises the information included in the management report and chairman’sstatement, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for theFinancial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(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,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingof the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view andare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Director is responsible for assessingthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operation, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also 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 financial statementsas a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is high level ofassurance, 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 fraudor error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users taken on the basisof these financial statements.
As a Part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain 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 tothose risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to providea basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedure that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the Company has adequate Internal Financial Controls System in placeand the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainly exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statementsincluding the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statementsthat, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone Financial Statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit finding, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charge with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate withthem 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 determine thosematters that were most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine the matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
