A. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial 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.
B. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Under section143(3)(i] of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness ofsuch controls.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Financial Statements,including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone Ind AS Financial Statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
