Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Assessment of realisability of Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT')credit entitlement
(Refer note 9 of the standalone financial statements)
The balance of Minimum Alternate Tax ('MAT') creditentitlement classified under Deferred Tax Assets (net) in thestandalone balance sheet as on March 31, 2025 is Rs. 5665.34lakhs.
Entitlement of MAT credit is recognised to the extent there isconvincing evidence that the Company will be able to utilise thesaid credit against normal tax payable based on the Company'sprojected taxable profits in the forthcoming years.
We considered the realisability of MAT credit entitlement to bea key audit matter as the amount is material to the standalonefinancial statements and there is significant managementjudgement involved while applying various assumptions inpreparation of forecasts which mainly include future businessgrowth rates and taxable profits.
To evaluate the realisability of MAT Credit entitlement, our
procedures included the following:
• Understood and evaluated the design and testing theoperating effectiveness of the Company's controls overpreparation of forecasts.
• Assessed the historical accuracy of the Company's Boardapproved forecasts by comparing the forecast approved inthe previous year with the actual performance in thecurrentyear.
• Tested the mathematical accuracy of the underlyingcalculations and comparing the forecasts with the budgetsapproved by the Board of Directors.
• Assessed the reasonableness of assumptions used in thepreparation of forecasts with external and internal factorsincluding business and industry growth rates, andCompany's past performance.
Applied sensitivity to the forecasts to assess whether theMAT credit carried as an asset would be utilized within thepermitted remaining period.

The other information comprises theinformation included in the Annual report but does notinclude the financial statements and our auditor's reportthereon. The annual report is expected to be madeavailable to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not coverthe 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, indoing so, consider whether the other information ismaterially inconsistent with the financial statements, orour knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwiseappears to be materially misstated.

governance forthe financial statements
6. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance, changes in equity andcash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Indian Accounting Standards specifiedunder Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility alsoincludes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act forsafeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror.
7. In preparing the standalone financial statements,management is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and usingthe going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so. Those Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
8. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of userstaken on the basis of these financial statements.
9. As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal controlrelevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management'suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are basedon the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and eventsin a mannerthatachievesfairpresentation.

12. From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters that wereof most significance in the audit of the financialstatements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in ourauditor's report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
