The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of these Standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company inaccordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indianaccounting Standards (Standalone) specified under section 133 of the Act.

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 togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high levelof 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 errorand are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultingfrom 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 auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of theCompanies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controls system with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability 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 thefinancial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying 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 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,and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements forthe financial year ended 31st March '24 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
