The other information consists ofdetails included in the Board's Report including annexures to the Board's report comprising ManagementDiscussion and Analysis Report, Corporate Governance, Shareholders' information etc., but does not includethe Standalone Financial Statements and our Auditors' report thereon.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with theStandalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of thefinancial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the Ind-AS specified under section 133 of the Act and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the Management and Board of Directors is responsible forassessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless Management and Board of Directorseither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as awhole 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 level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of theseStandalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
K Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone Financial Statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controlswith reference to Standalone Financial Statements in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the Management.
K Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting andbased on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' Report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
K Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, includingthe disclosures and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financialstatements may be influenced. We consider quantitative 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 anyidentified misstatements in the Standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that wereof most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our Auditor's Report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh thepublic interest benefits of such communication.

Otherwise, the employer can maintain an approved fund (hereinreferred as "Plan Asset") for the purpose of payment of gratuity.
