In connection with our audit of the Standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone financial statements orour knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

1. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these Ind AS Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind ASand other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone financial statements that give a true andfair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
2. In preparing the Ind AS Standalone financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
3. The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financial statements as a whole are freefrom material 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 with SAs willalways detect a material misstatement 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 the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these Ind AS Standalone financial statements.
2. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS Standalone financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS Standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Ind AS Standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
3 Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone financial statementsmay be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(I)planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Standalonefinancial statements.
4 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
5. 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.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
