The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for theother information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Annual report, but doesnot include the financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not coverthe other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether such other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statementsor our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated. If, based on the workwe have performed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information, we are required toreport that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these financial statements that givea true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance including other comprehensive income, cashflows and changes in equity of the Company in accordancewith the accounting principles generally accepted inIndia, including the Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, asamended. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively forensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe financial statements that give a true and fair viewand are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mattersrelated to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management either intends toliquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeingthe Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the 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.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement whenit exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Ý Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
Ý Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequateinternal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
Ý Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditionsthat may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we concludethat a material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor's report.However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
Ý Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements for thefinancial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor'sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
