The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Company's Annual Report includingManagement Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report includingAnnexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility andSustainability Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder'sInformation but does not include the financial statements and ourauditor's report thereon. The Company's annual report is expectedto be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover theother information and we will not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information identified above whenit becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the financial statementsor our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to bematerially misstated.
When we read the Company's annual report, if we conclude that thereis a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicatethe matter to those charged with governance and take necessaryactions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these financial statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of theCompany in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguardingof the assets of the Company and for preventing and detectingfrauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimatesthat are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness ofthe accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentationof the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsiblefor assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeingthe Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high levelof assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professionaljudgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We are also:
a. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of thefinancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
b. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controls withreference to Financial Statements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
c. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
d. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
e. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of thefinancial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe financial statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financialstatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning thescope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in thefinancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the auditand significant audit findings, including any significant deficienciesin internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements for the financialyear ended March 31, 2025, and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
