Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statementsof the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming ouropinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The company's Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information comprises theinformation included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditors report thereon.
Our opinion on financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance or conclusionthereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statement, our responsibility is to read the other information and in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statement or other information obtained during thecourse of our audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is amaterial misstatement of this other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities 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 (“the Act”) withrespect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including the accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate implementation and maintenance ofaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenanceof adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directors are responsiblefor 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 material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an auditin 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit 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 fraudmay 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 thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Compan y'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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 conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial 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 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 ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in theaudit of the 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 determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
