In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statementsgive the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair viewin conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2024, the Loss and other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the financialStatements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by theInstitute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of thefinancial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our otherethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidencewe have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements asa whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. There are no key auditmatters to be disclosed.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report, Corporate Governance Report, and ShareholderInformation, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, 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 with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act readwith the Companies (Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalstandalone financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as agoing concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unlessthe Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance isa high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• 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 doubt onthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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 be thought tobear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
