Other Comprehensive Income), the Cash Flow Statement and the Statement of Changes in
Equity for the year then ended, and notes to the Financial Statements, including, a summary of

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the aforesaid Ind AS financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act
2013 (“The Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the

cash flows and Changes in Equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained us sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors'
responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report, including in
relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Financial
Statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to
address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
Financial Statements:

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

Fair Value of Unquoted Equity
Investments (Other than Investments
in Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures)
Investment in Unquoted equity shares
are measured at Fair value.

The Fair value of these financial
assets involved management's
judgment because these securities
are not traded in an active market.
Since this valuation is a Level 3 type
of valuation in accordance with Ind
AS 113 Fair Value Measurement
where one or more significant inputs
to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.

Accordingly, this item is considered to
be a Key Audit Matter due to
significant judgments associated with
estimating the fair value of
investment.

We discussed with management the basis
used in determining the fair value and
evaluated the appropriateness of the
valuation methodologies used by
management and compared it to industry
norms and the requirements in Ind AS.

We confirm the adequacy of the disclosures
made in the financial statements.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of 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,
Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Company's Annual Report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the 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 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 during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Company's 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 take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Management and Board of Director's Responsibilities of the Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in
Section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these
Ind AS financial statement that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs (financial
position), profit or loss (financial performance including other comprehensive income/Loss ),
cash flows and changes in equity of the company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 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
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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true
and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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.

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting
process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.

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 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 for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting 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.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls 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 controls system with reference to financial statements 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 management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management and Board of Director's use of the going
concern basis of accounting in preparation of financial statements 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 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 financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the 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 audit and 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 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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.
