In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financialstatements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") in the manner so required and givea true and fair view in conformity with the Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read withthe Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, ("AS") and other accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31, 2025 and its profit and its cash flows for theyear ended on that date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specifiedunder section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor'sResponsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company inaccordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with theethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and theRules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirementsand the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of thestandalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separateopinion on 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 other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Reportand Shareholder's Information, 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 not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
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 financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,we are required to report that 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 the Act with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceand cash flows of the Company in accordance with the AS and other accounting principles generally accepted inIndia. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisionsof the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregulari¬ties; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The amendments require every company that uses an accounting software to use such software that has a featureof audit trail which cannot be disabled. The management has a responsibility for effective implementation of therequirements prescribed by account rules i.e., every company which uses an accounting software for maintaining itsbooks of account, should use only such accounting software which has the following features.
» Records an audit trail of each and every transaction, creating an edit log of each change made in the books ofaccount along with the date when such changes were made; and
” Ensuring that audit trail is not disabled.
Thus, the management is primarily responsible for ensuring selection of the appropriate accounting software forensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations (including those related to retention of audit logs).
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continueas a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom 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 inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence 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 maintain professional skepticismthroughout 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 obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate 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.
» Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
» Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the management.
» Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon 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 materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the finan¬cial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence 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.
» Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makesit probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may beinfluenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our 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, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
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.
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 describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter 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.
