Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinionthereon, 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.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods (here in after referred to as"Revenue") is recognised when the Company performs itsobligation to its customers and the amount of revenue can bemeasured reliably and recovery of the consideration is probable.The timing of such recognition in case of sale of goods is whenthe control over the same is transferred to the customer, whichis mainly upon delivery.
The timing of revenue recognition is relevant to the reportedperformance of the Company. The management considersrevenue as a key measure for evaluation of performance. Thereis a risk of revenue being recorded before control is transferred.
Refer Note 1 to the Standalone FinancialStatements - Material Accounting Policies
Principal Audit Procedures
Our audit approach was a combination of test of internal controls andsubstantive procedures including:
_ Assessing the appropriateness of the Company's revenue recognitionaccounting policies in line with Ind AS 115 ("Revenue from Contracts withCustomers")and testing thereof.
_ Evaluating the integrity of the general information and technology controlenvironment and testing the operating effectiveness of key IT applicationcontrols.
_ Evaluating the design and implementation of Company's controls in respectof revenue recognition.
_ Testing the effectiveness of such controls over revenue cut off at year-end.
_ Testing the supporting documentation for sales transactions recorded duringthe period closer to the year end and subsequent to the year end.
_ Performing analytical procedures on current year revenue based on monthlytrends and where appropriate, conducting further enquiries and testing.
Assessment of litigations and related disclosure ofcontingent liabilities
As at March 31, 2025, the Company has exposures towardslitigations relating to various matters.
Significant management judgment is required to assess suchmatters to determine the probability of occurrence of materialoutflow of economic resources and whether a provisionshould be recognised, or a disclosure should be made. Themanagement judgment is also supported with legal advice incertain cases as considered appropriate.
As the ultimate outcome of the matters are uncertain andthe positions taken by the management are based on theapplication of their best judgment, related legal adviceincluding those relating to interpretation of laws/regulations, itis considered to be a Key Audit Matter.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the Other Information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board'sReport, Corporate Governance and Shareholders Information but does not include in the financial statements and our auditor's report theron.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusions thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements of our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appearsto be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to be reportthat fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of thesestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensiveincome, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe India Accounting Standard (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with relevant Rules issued there under. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that wereoperating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of thestandalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a goingconcern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directorseither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone 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 standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof 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 financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. 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 accounting estimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
- 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 goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures inthe standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures 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 the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financialstatements 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 economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors 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 identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significantaudit 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 regardingindependence, 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 ofStandalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter shouldnot be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
