Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the Financial Statements of the current period. These matters wereaddressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in formingour opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We havedetermined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report,Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the FinancialStatements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the FinancialStatements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance, including other comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Actfor safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of theFinancial 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, management and Board of Directors is responsible forassessing 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 theBoard of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’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 amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence 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 maintainprofessional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures 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 in place and the operatingeffectiveness 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 uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based onthe audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events orconditions 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 underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Financial Statements that, individuallyor in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeableuser of the Financial Statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality andqualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the FinancialStatements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned 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 Financial Statements of the currentperiod and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’sreport unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
