Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationidentified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the StandaloneFinancial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are 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, financial performance, changesin equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting recordsin accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and otherirregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Statements that give atrue and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountingunless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Boardof Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act,will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected 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 maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Wealso:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design andperform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures madeby management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of Standalone FinancialStatements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we arerequired to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosuresare inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether theStandalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements/financial information of the branches and jointly controlledoperations which are included in the Company to express an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Standalone Financial Statementsof which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the standalone financial statements, which have been auditedby other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them.We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion
7. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant audit 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 ofthe Standalone Financial Statements of the current period 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, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweighthe public interest benefits of such communication.
