We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Ourresponsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethicsissued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and wehave fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believethat the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on theStandalone Financial Statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on thesematters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
A. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexuresto Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but doesnot include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
B. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements, or ourknowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on thework we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are requiredto report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
A. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financialperformance, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified undersection 133 of company Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
B. In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability tocontinue 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 norealistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
A. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
B. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
ii) Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has an adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based onthe audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertaintyexists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained 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.
v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
C. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timingof the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify duringour audit.
D. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
E. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
