Key Audit Matter
Our Response
1
Defined benefit obligation
The valuation of the retirement benefit schemesin the Company is determined with referenceto various actuarial assumptions includingdiscount rate, future salary increases, rate ofinflation, mortality rates and attrition rates. Dueto the size of these schemes, small changes inthese assumptions can have a material impacton the estimated defined benefit obligation.
We have examined the key controls over the processinvolving member data, formulation of assumptions and thefinancial reporting process in arriving at the provision forretirement benefits. We tested the controls for determiningthe actuarial assumptions and the approval of thoseassumptions by senior management. We found these keycontrols were designed, implemented and operatedeffectively, and therefore determined that we could placereliance on these key controls for the purposes of our audit.
We tested the employee data used in calculating theobligation and where material, we also considered thetreatment of curtailments, settlements, past service costs,remeasurements, benefits paid, and any other amendmentsmade to obligations during the year. From the evidenceobtained, we found the data and assumptions used bymanagement in the actuarial valuations for retirementbenefit obligations to be appropriate.

Related Party Transactions
During the year the Company has entered intovarious transactions with related parties.
Determination of transaction price for suchrelated parties transactions outside the normalcourse of business is a key audit matterconsidering the significance of the transactionvalue and the significant judgements involvedin determining the transaction value.
Our audit procedures included considering the compliancewith the various requirements for entering in to such relatedparty transactions.
We have read the approvals obtained for the transactions.
We have assessed the disclosures in accordance with IndAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”.

If,based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to preparation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind ASand other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with provisions of the Act for safeguarding assets of theCompany and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparationand presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.Auditor’s Responsibilities for Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit 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 ofthese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud 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 notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat 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 financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate appropriateness of the accounting policies used and reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtainedup to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Companyto cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements includingdisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individually or in aggregate,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) planningthe scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of anyidentified misstatements in the Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are thereforethe key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a mattershould not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
