3. Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in ourprofessional judgment, were of most significance inour audit of the financial statements of the currentyear. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. In the audit of thecurrent period, we do not have observed any key auditmatters required to be reported separately.

In connection with our audit of the financialstatements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether theother information is materially inconsistent with thefinancial statements or our knowledge obtainedduring the course of our audit or otherwise appears tobe materially misstated. If, based on the work we haveperformed, we conclude that there is a materialmisstatement of this other information, we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to reportin this regard.
5. Responsibility of Management and Those Chargedwith Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible forthe matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act withrespect to the preparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, change in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India,including the Ind AS specified under Section 133 of the
Act, read with rule 7 of companies (Accounts) Rules,2014 and the companies(Indian Accounting Standards)Rules 2015, as amended.

In preparing the financial statements, management isresponsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company's Board of Directors is also responsiblefor overseeing the company's financial reportingprocess.
6. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of theFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatementscan arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whether
due 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 financialcontrol relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures 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 the financialstatements in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness ofmanagement's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor's report to therelated disclosures in the financial statements or,if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor'sreport. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of the misstatements inthe Financial Statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions 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 evaluatingthe results of our work and (ii) to evaluate the effect ofany identified misstatements in the FinancialStatements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of 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 precludespublic disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
