The otherinformation comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include thefinancial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The Company’s annual report is expected to be madeavailable to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we will notexpress any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the otherinformation is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtainedin the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Company’s annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein,we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary actions,as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a tmeand fair view of the state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsiblefor assessing theCompany ’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relatedto going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors eitherintends 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 overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that anaudit 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 thesestandalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether dueto 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 amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, 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 thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible forexpressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference tostandalone financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the standalone financialstatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on theaudit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achievesfair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internalcontrol that we identify duringour audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that wereof most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and aretherefore the key audit matters.
