changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on
that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those Standards are further described
in the Auditors 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 Act and the
Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and
the ICAI's 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 statements.

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, 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.

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,
the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's
Report including Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate
Governance, Business Responsibility and Sustainability
Report and Shareholder's Information, but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The
Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after
the date of this auditor's report. Our opinion on the 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 during our
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that
there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with
governance for the Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors is
responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act,
with respect to the preparation of these 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
Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding 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 statements
that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Management
and Board of Director are 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 responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financials
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 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 skepticism
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 Act, 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 and
Board of Director'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 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.

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 the 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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe 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 adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably
be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
