In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid standalone 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 IndianAccounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("Ind AS") and other accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31 2024, and its Loss,total comprehensive income, its cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended.
We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements in accordance with the Standardson Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under thoseStandards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance withthe Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under theprovisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethicalresponsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believethat the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinion on the standalone financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significancein our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in thecontext of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, andwe do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Board's Reportincluding Annexures to Board's Report, but does not include the standalone financial statementsand our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Inconnection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the courseof our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we haveperformed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we arerequired 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 Actwith respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accountingprinciples generally accepted in India.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance withthe provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the standalone financial statement that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
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 toissue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 oneresulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial 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 the Company has adequateinternal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the 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 drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative 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 inthe standalone financial statements.
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, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
