We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SA"s) specified under section 143(10)of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the FinancialStatements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment and based on the consideration of reports of other auditor onseparate financial statements of subsidiaries audited by them, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, andwe do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in ourreport.

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included inthe Board's Report including Annexures to Board's Report, and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the standalone financialstatements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 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 material misstatement of this other information, we are required toreport that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard
The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in terms of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair viewof the state of affairs, profit/loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flows of the company isin accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards ("IND AS") specifiedunder section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the company are the responsible for maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of Company and for preventingand detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments andestimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud orerror. Which have been used for the purpose of preparation of these financial statements by Management and Board of Directors of theCompany, as aforesaid.
In preparing the financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies are responsible for assessingthe ability of company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless the respective Management and Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or tocease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 a high level of assurance,but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout theaudit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and performaudit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for ouropinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate inthe circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company hasadequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions maycause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether thefinancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements of such entities or business activities within the groupto express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit ofthe financial statements of such entities included in the financial statements of which we are the independent auditors.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable thatthe economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in
(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and
(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them 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 those matters that were of most significance in theaudit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters inour auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
