These matters were addressed in the context of our audit ofthe standalone financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion there on, and we do not provide a separate opinionon these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprisesthe information included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report but does not include the financialstatements and our Auditor's Report there on. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other informationand we do not express any form of assurance or conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of 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 or our knowledge obtained in the auditor otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibility of Management and those charged with governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 with respectto the preparation 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 accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes responsible the maintenance of the adequate accountingrecords in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing anddetecting 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 financialcontrols, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statement 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 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 unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 assuranceis a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 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 considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 abasis for our opinion. The risk of not 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 internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)0) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the ability of the Company's to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whetherthe financial statements 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 probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant 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 requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thoughtto 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 mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremelyrare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequencesof doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
