We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with theStandards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs).

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Standalone FinancialStatements.
Key Audit matters ('KAM') are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were ofmost significance in our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the currentperiod. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the StandaloneFinancial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the otherinformation. The other information comprises the information included in theManagement Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board'sReport, Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder'sInformation, but does not include the Standalone Financial Statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and wedo not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements, our responsibilityis to read the other information, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtainedduring 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 materialmisstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We havenothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in the section134(5) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation andpresentation of these Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income,changes in cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. Thisresponsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordancewith the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and
application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentationof the Standalone Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the respective Management andBoard of Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of company to continue as agoing concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors eitherintends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternativebut to do so.
The respective Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financialreporting process of company.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the StandaloneFinancial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due tofraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone FinancialStatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting amaterial misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fromerror, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit inorder to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls systemin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether amaterial uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attentionin our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Standalone FinancialStatements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Companyto cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the StandaloneFinancial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the StandaloneFinancial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone FinancialStatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone FinancialStatements may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of ourwork; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in theStandalone Financial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company included inthe Standalone Financial Statements of which we are the independent auditorsregarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we havecomplied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably bethought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, wedetermine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of theStandalone Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in ourreport because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
