Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably beexpected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone IND AS financialstatements.

Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern
v) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Standalone Financial Statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation
