INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON:

The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s
Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance
and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon. The above-mentioned reports comprising of other information are expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit,
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the above-mentioned reports comprising other information and if we conclude that there is
a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance and take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The Company’s Management is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) the Act with respect to
the preparation of these Ind AS Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance, cash flows and changes in equity statement of the Company in
accordance with the Accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accountant Standards
(Ind AS) referred to in section 133 of the Act read with Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015 (as amended). This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting frauds and other irregularities, selection and application of appropriate accounting policies,
making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial control that we are operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of accounting records relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Ind
AS Standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s
ability to continue 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 no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are 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 material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
Standalone Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud 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 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 internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,
based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related
disclosures in the Standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are 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.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control with reference to Standalone financial statements that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, 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 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 the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
