1. We draw attention to Note 3 to Note 8
2. We draw attention to Note 32 of the financial results, as regards the management’sevaluation of COVID-19’s impact on the future performance of the Company. Toassess the recoverability of certain assets, investments, and trade receivables, theCompany has considered internal and external information up to the date of thisreport in respect of the current and estimated future global including Indianeconomic indicators consequent to the global health pandemic. The actual impact ofthe pandemic may be different from that considered in assessing the recoverability ofthese assets.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management Discussion and
Analysis, Board’s Report including Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility
Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’s Information, but does not include theFinancial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we donot express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read theother information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materiallyinconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit orotherwise 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 Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these FinancialStatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Companyin accordance with the Ind AS and the accounting principles generally accepted in India.This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Companyand for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and applicationof appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonableand prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation ofthe Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, the Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone FinancialStatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is ahigh 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 skepticism 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 a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Undersection 143(3){i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion onwhether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in placeand the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and thereasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made bymanagement.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basisof accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the Standalone. Financial Statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions arebased on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas 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 financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work: and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate withthem all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statementsfor the financial year ended March 31, 2024, and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences ofdoing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
