In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations givento us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by theCompanies Act, 2013 in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformitywith the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of theCompany as at March 31,2024, and its profit/loss and other comprehensive income, andits cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company inaccordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants ofIndia together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of thestandalone financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and theRules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance withthese requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we haveobtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalonefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. We havedetermined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the information included in theCompany's annual report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor'sreport(s) thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other informationand we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility isto read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledgeobtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on thework 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 Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the mattersstated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss andother comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including theIndian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonableand prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board ofDirectors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate theCompany or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financialstatements 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 highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ofthese standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to designaudit 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 thecompany has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management andBoard of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors useof the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financialstatements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt onthe Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied withrelevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them allrelationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
