The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Reportincluding Annexures to Board's Report, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance Report,and Shareholder Information, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do 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 obtainedduring the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Thus, based on the workwe 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 in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of theCompanies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including othercomprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (IndianAccounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, and other accounting principles generally accepted inIndia and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalonefinancial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to goingconcern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidatethe Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Directorsare responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'sreport 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 misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users takenon the basis of these standalone 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 due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directorsin terms of requirements specified under regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related toevents or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as agoing concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence 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 standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the statement of the Company to expressand opinion thereon.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) toevaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the plannedscope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our 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 may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.

therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulationprecludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
