Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Ind ASfinancial statements of the current period.

Description
Auditor’s Response
1. Allowances for expected credit losses (‘ECL’):
As at 31 March 2024, the carrying value of loanassets carried at amortised cost, aggregated INR75,508.08 thousand constituting approximately90% of the Company’s total assets. Significantjudgement is used in classifying these loan assetsand applying appropriate measurement principles.ECL on such loan assets carried at amortisedcost is a critical estimate involving greater levelof management judgement. As part of our riskassessment, we determined that the ECL onsuch loan assets has a high degree of estimationuncertainty, with a potential range of reasonableoutcomes for the financial statements. The elementsof estimating ECL which involved increased levelof audit focus are the following:
• Qualitative and quantitative factors used in stagingthe loan assets carried at amortised cost;
• Basis used for estimating probabilities of default(‘PD’), loss given default (‘LGD’) and exposure atdefault (‘EAD’) at product level with past trends;
Principal audit procedures performed:
We have examined the Company’s policies that articulate theobjectives of managing each portfolio and their business models.We have also verified the methodology adopted for computationof ECL that addresses adopted policies and procedures andcontrols for assessing and measuring credit risk on all lendingexposures carried at amortised cost. Our audit procedures relatedto the allowance for ECL included the following, among others:Testing the design and operating effectiveness of the following:
• Completeness and accuracy of the EAD and the classificationthereof into stages consistent with the definitions appliedin accordance with the approved policy including theappropriateness of the qualitative factors to be applied.
• Completeness, accuracy and appropriateness of informationused in the estimation of the PD and LGD for the differentstages depending on the nature of the portfolio.
• Accuracy of the computation of the ECL estimate includingreasonableness of the methodology used to determinemacro-economic overlays and adjustments to the output ofthe ECL.
• Judgements used in projecting economic scenariosand probability weights applied to reflect futureeconomic conditions.
Test of details on a sample basis in respect of the following:
• Accuracy and completeness of the input data such as periodof default and other related information used in estimatingthe PD;
• The mathematical accuracy of the ECL computation byusing the same input data as used by the Company.
• Completeness and accuracy of the staging of the loans andthe underlying data based on which the ECL estimates havebeen computed.
2. Compliance and disclosure requirements:
Compliance and disclosure requirements underthe applicable Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS), Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines andother applicable statutory, regulatory and financialreporting framework.

• Designed and performed audit procedures to assess thecompleteness and correctness of the details disclosedhaving regard to the assumptions made by the managementin relation to the applicability and extent of disclosurerequirements.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Director’sReport including Annexures to Director’s Report but does not include the Ind AS financial statements and our auditor’sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identifiedabove when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe Ind AS financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, weare required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance for the Ind AS Financial Statements
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 Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS 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 appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, 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 procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
• 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 theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Ind AS financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Ind AS financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind AS financial statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Ind AS financialstatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
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 thoughtto 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 mostsignificance in the audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe 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 adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
