BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards
on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of
the Companies Act, 2013. 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 together with
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the
financial statement.

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. 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 Matters

Auditor's Response

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) in respect of
loan assets.

[Refer Note No. 2.14 for the accounting policy and Note No.
49 for the related disclosures]

As at March 31, 2025, the Company has financial assets
(loans) amounting to ' 5162.89 Crores. As per Ind AS 109 -
Financial Instruments, the Company is required to recognize
loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial
assets.

ECL is measured at 12-month ECL for Stage 1 loan assets
and at lifetime ECL for Stage 2 and Stage 3 loan assets.
Significant management judgment and assumptions
involved in measuring ECL is required with respect to:

• determining the criteria for a significant increase in
credit risk (SICR)

• factoring in future economic assumptions

• techniques used to determine probability of default
(PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default
(EAD).

Principal Audit Procedures

Our audit focused on assessing the appropriateness

of management's judgment and estimates used in the

impairment analysis through the following procedures :

• Walkthrough and Control Assessment: Conducted a
walkthrough of the impairment loss allowance process,
assessing the design effectiveness of controls.

• Policy and Compliance Review: Evaluated the
Company's accounting policies for impairment of
financial assets for compliance with Ind AS 109 and
the Board-approved governance framework per RBI
guidelines.

• Model Understanding and Key Inputs: Gained an
understanding of the Company's model for calculating
expected credit losses, including key inputs,
assumptions, and management overlays, assessing
the appropriateness and accuracy of data used.

• Analytical Procedures: Performed analytical reviews
of disaggregated data to observe any unusual trends
warranting additional audit procedures.

Key Audit Matters

Auditor's Response

ECL involves an estimation of probability weighted loss on
financial instruments over their life, considering reasonable
and supportable information about past events, current
conditions, and forecast of future economic conditions
which could impact the credit quality of the Company's loans
and advances. In view of such high degree of Management's
judgement involved in estimation of ECL, it is a key audit
matter.

• Credit Risk Assessment: Evaluated the Company's
determination of significant increase in credit risk,
checked compliance with Ind AS 109, and assessed
historical data relevance in light of recent impairment
losses. Tested loan staging criteria and indicators for
loss.

• Controls and Calculation Testing: Tested the design
and operating effectiveness of key controls, accuracy
of inputs, and reasonableness of assumptions used in
ECL calculations. Verified arithmetic calculations and
assessed presentation and disclosures.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual report 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 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 in
the 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.

Responsibility of Management for the Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows 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 of 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 financial statement 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 are also 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
scepticism 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 control relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section
143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also
responsible for expressing our opinion on whether
the company has adequate internal financial controls
system 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.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use
of the going concern basis of accounting 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.

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 Financial Statements
may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and
qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work
and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate
the effect of any identified misstatements in the Financial
Statements.

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.
