Chartered Accountants of India ("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to

we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and informing our opinion there on and
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described
below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Evaluation of uncertain tax positions

The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions
and is subject to periodic challenges by local
tax authorities on arrange of tax matters during
the normal course of business including direct
& indirect tax matters and forum. These involve
significant management judgment to
determine the possible out come of the
uncertain tax positions, consequently having an
impact on related accounting and disclosures in
the financial statements.

(Refer Note no .44 to the financial statements)

Our audit procedures include the following
substantive procedures:

• Obtained understanding of key uncertain tax
positions;

• Read and analyzed select key
correspondences including responses to
the tax authorities;

• Discussed with appropriate senior
management and evaluated management's
underlying key assumptions in estimating
the tax provisions and the possible out
come of the disputed cases.

We agreed with the management's evaluation.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report There on

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Annual report but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor's report there on.

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

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's Board of directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safe guarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting
frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and
maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of
the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management and Board of Directors are 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 is also responsible for over seeing 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 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 financial statements.

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

(a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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
over ride of internal control.

(b) 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.

(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

(d) 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 financial
statements or, if such disclosures are in adequate, 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.

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

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of
the financial statements maybe influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in; (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the result so four work; and
(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

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 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 in dependence,
and where applicable, related safe guards.

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 out weigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
