In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, theaforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”)in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025, and profitand its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified undersection 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of ourreport. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by theInstitute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevantto our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and theRules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion.
The Company’s Board of Directors and Management is responsible for the preparation of the otherinformation. The other information comprises the information obtained at the date of this auditor’sreport, but does not include the financial statements 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
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is mateffaHy-'inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, weconclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to reportthat fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
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 and presentation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act,. This responsibility alsoincludes the maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of theAct for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting the frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial control, 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, whetherdue to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate theCompany 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 reportingprocess.
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 an auditor’sreport that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic 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 scepticism 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 o6taf°N-audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal 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)0) of the Companies Act,2013, 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 accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to eventsor 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 ourauditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company tocease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal 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 all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
