Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional, judgment were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit, of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming

5. Key audit matter identified in our audit is on Existence & Recoverability of Trade Receivable as follows:

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Existence & Recoverability of Trade Receivable

The company has trade receivables (net) outstanding
of
' 16,553.19 Lakhs after deducting the provision for
impairment of
' 186.92 Lakhs at the end of reporting period.
This represents 20.77% of the total assets of the company.
These balances are receivable in relation to the revenue
recognized in accordance with the requirements of Ind AS
115 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".

The recoverability of trade receivables is a key element of the
company's working capital management, which is managed
on an ongoing basis by its management. Due to the nature
of the business, the requirements of customers and various
contract terms that are in place, there is a risk that the
carrying values may not reflect the recoverable amounts as
at the reporting date.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• Reviewing the accounting policy with respect to

o recognition of revenue & its appropriateness in
accordance with Ind AS 115: Revenue from Contract
with Customers;

o Appropriateness of Recognition, Measurement and
Impairment of Trade Receivables in accordance with
Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments.

• Evaluating the design & implementation of internal
controls in relation to recovery of Trade receivables,
calculation of allowance for impaired trade receivable
along with testing its operating effectiveness on sample
basis.

Existence & Recoverability of Trade Receivable

Therefore, the assessment of existence & recoverability
of trade receivables is a key audit matters due to its size,
and inherent uncertainty involved in the Management
judgement.

Refer note 4(iii) to accounting policies and note 14 and 48(I)
(1) to the standalone Financial statements.

• Obtaining the external balance confirmations on samples
basis to ascertain the existence & completeness of trade
receivables.

• Evaluating the reconciliations prepared by the
management with respect to the balance confirmations
received.

• Verified the subsequent receipts of trade receivables for
selected samples to ascertain its existence as on balance
sheet date.

• Obtaining an understanding of the processes for
evaluating the recoverability of the trade receivables
including the collection process & allowances for impaired
trade receivables.

• Evaluating management's assumptions in determining
the provision for impairment of trade receivables, by
analysing the ageing of receivables, assessing significant
overdue Individual trade receivables and specific local
risks, historical trends & patterns, combined with the legal
documentations, where applicable.

• Verifying the ageing analysis of Trade receivables, long
outstanding & overdue balances, latest correspondences
with customers for recovery of dues & evaluating its
impact on provisioning & impairment.

• Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures as required by

Information other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditors' Report thereon.

6. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Business
Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information and other information in the Company's annual
report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The other information is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the Standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to those charged with governance and as may be legally advised.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

7. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other Comprehensive Income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the Ind AS and other accounting principles generally accepted in India including the Accounting Standards specified under
Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other
irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance of accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate
internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8. In preparing the Standalone financial statements, management is responsible for 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 either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

9. Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

10. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financial statements as a whole are
free from 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 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 these Standalone financial statements.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis of opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for our resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether
the company has adequate internal financial control system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

12. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

13. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence and where applicable, related safeguards.

14. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
