2. LITIGATIONS AND CLAIMS -PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENTLIABILITIES
The Company is involved in direct tax and otherlitigations (‘litigations’) that are pending with differentstatutory authorities.
The level of management judgement associatedwith determining the need for, and the quantumof, provisions for any liabilities arising from theselitigations is considered to be high. This judgement isdependent on a number of significant assumptions andassessments which involves interpreting the variousapplicable rules, regulations, practices and consideringprecedents in the various jurisdictions.
This matter is considered as a key audit matter, in viewof the uncertainty regarding the outcome of theselitigations, the significance of the amounts involved andthe subjectivity involved in management’s judgementas to whether the amount should be recognized as aprovision or only disclosed as contingent liability in thestandalone financial statements.

The other information comprises the information includedin the Annual Report, but does not include the standaloneInd AS financial statements and our auditors’ reportthereon. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsiblefor the other information.
Our opinion on the standalone Ind AS financial statementsdoes not cover the other information and we do notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.In connection with our audit of the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether such otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, basedon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is
a material misstatement of this other information; we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report inthis regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for thematters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies Act,2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of theseInd AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair viewof the financial position, financial performance includingother comprehensive income, cash flows and changes inequity of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India including the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133of the Act.
This responsibility also includes maintenance ofadequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design,implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectivelyfor ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the Ind AS Financial Statements thatgive a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, managementis responsible 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 management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations,or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company’s Board of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the Ind-AS 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 audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higherthan for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’suse of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whethera material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on theCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, weare required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the financial statementsor, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. 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 events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
