Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of thestandalone financial statements for the financial year endedMarch 31st 2025. These matters were addressed in the contextof our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole,
and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide aseparate opinion on these matters. We have determined thematters described below to be the key audit matters to becommunicated in our report.
Revenue recognitionThe key audit matter
Revenue is measured net of any trade discounts and volumerebates to customers ("discounts and rebates"). Materialestimation by the Company is involved in recognitionand measurement of rebates and discounts. This includesestablishing an accrual at year end, particularly inarrangements with varying terms which are based on annualcontracts or shorter-term arrangements. In addition, the valueand timing of promotions for products varies from period toperiod, and the activity can span beyond the year end.
We identified the evaluation of accrual for rebates anddiscounts as a key audit matter.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our audit procedures included:
• Understanding the process followed by the Companyto determine the amount of accrual for discounts andrebates.
• Evaluating the design and implementation and testingoperating effectiveness of Company's general IT controls,key manual and application controls over the Company'sIT systems including controls over rebates agreements/ arrangements, rebate payments / settlements andCompany's review over the rebate accruals.
• Inspecting on a sample basis, key customer contracts.Based on the terms and conditions relating to discountsand rebates, assessing the Company's revenuerecognition policies with reference to the requirementsof the applicable accounting standards
• Performing substantive testing by selecting samples ofdiscounts and rebates transactions recorded during theyear as well as period end discounts and rebates accrualsand matching the parameters used in the computationwith the relevant source documents.
• Examining historical rebate accrual together with ourunderstanding of current year developments to forman expectation of the rebate accrual as at year end andcomparing this expectation against the actual rebateaccrual, completing further inquiries and obtainingunderlying documentation, on a sample basis, asappropriate. Further, we also performed retrospectivereview to evaluate the precision with which managementmakes estimates.
• Checking completeness and accuracy of the data used bythe Company for accrual of discounts and rebates,
• Testing actualisation of estimated accruals on a samplebasis
• Testing a selection of rebate accruals recorded after 31March 2025 and assessing whether the accrual is recordedin the correct period.
• Testing a selection of payments made after 31 March2025 and where relevant, comparing the payment to therelated rebate accrual.
• Critically assessing manual journal entries posted torevenue, on a sample basis, to identify unusual items andexamining the underlying documentation.
Provisions and contingent liabilities relating to taxation,litigations and claims
The key audit matter
The provisions and contingent liabilities relate to ongoinglitigations and claims with various authorities and thirdparties. These relate to direct tax, indirect tax, transferpricing arrangements, claims, general legal proceedings,environmental issues and other eventualities arising in theregular course of business.
As at the year ended March 31, 2025, the amounts involvedare significant. The computation of a provision or contingentliability requires significant judgement by the Companybecause of the inherent complexity in estimating future costs.The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate ofthe expenditure. The provisions and contingent liabilities aresubject to changes in the outcomes of litigations and claimsand the positions taken by the Company. It involves significantjudgement and estimation to determine the likelihood andtiming of the cash outflows and interpretations of the legalaspects, tax legislations and judgements previously made byauthorities.
• Understanding the process followed by the Companyfor assessment and determination of the amount ofprovisions and contingent liabilities relating to taxation,litigations and claims.
• Evaluating the design and implementation and testingoperating effectiveness of key internal controls aroundthe recognition and measurement of provisions and re¬assessment of contingent liabilities.
• Involving our tax professionals with specialised skills and
knowledge to assist in the assessment of the value ofsignificant provisions and contingent liabilities relatingto taxation matter, on sample basis, in light of the natureof the exposures, applicable regulations and relatedcorrespondence with the authorities.
• Inquiring the status in respect of significant provisionsand contingent liabilities with the Company's internal taxand legal team, including challenging the assumptionsand critical judgements made by the Company whichimpacted the computation of the provisions andinspecting the computation.
• Assessing the assumptions used and estimates of outcomeand financial effect, including considering judgement ofthe Company, supplemented by experience of similardecisions previously made by the authorities and, in somecases, relevant opinions given by the Company's advisors.
• Testing data used to develop the estimate forcompleteness and accuracy.
• Evaluating judgements made by the Company bycomparing the estimates of prior year to the actualoutcome.
• Evaluating the Company's disclosures in the standalonefinancial statements in respect of provisions andcontingent liabilities.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement when itexists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and areconsidered material if, individually or in the aggregate, theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these standalonefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout 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 proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to standalone financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures in the standalone financial statementsmade by the Management and Board of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use ofthe going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company's ability to continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in thestandalone financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditors' report. However, future events or conditionsmay cause the Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the standalone financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone financialstatements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a 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 we identifyduring our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the standalone financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless lawor regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that amatter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
