Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon:
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of other information. The other information comprises the DirectorsReport and Management Discussion and Analysis but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’sreport thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparentmaterial misstatements, we are required to determinewhether there is a material misstatement of the otherinformation. If, based on the work we have performed,we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required to report that fact.
We confirm that we have nothing material to report, addor draw attention to in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Management andThose charged with governance for thefinancial statements:
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) ofthe Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act”) with respect to thepreparation of these financial statements that give a trueand fair view of the financial position, underwriting results,financial performance and cash flows of the Company inaccordance with the Applicable Accounting Framework.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and forpreventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;selection and application of appropriate accountingpolicies; making judgments and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation andmaintenance of adequate internal financial controls, thatwere operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy andcompleteness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, managementand board of directors are responsible for assessingthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concernand using the going concern basis of accounting unlessmanagement either intends to liquidate the Company orto cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but todo so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeingthe Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit ofthe financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, andto issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level assurance, but it isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraudor error and are considered material if, individually orin aggregate, that could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the financial statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks, and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations, or the override ofinternal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financialcontrols relevant to the audit in order to designaudit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has an adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of managementand board of directors use of the going concernbasis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the ability of the Company tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude thata material uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may cause theCompany to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thefinancial statements that, individually or in aggregate,makes it probable that the economic decisions ofa reasonably knowledgeable user of the financialstatements may be influenced. We consider quantitativemateriality and qualitative factors in (i) planning thescope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the financial statements.
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 weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the financial statementsof the current period and are therefore the key auditmatters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure aboutthe matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, wedetermine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doingso would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
The actuarial valuation of liabilities in respect of IncurredBut Not Reported (the "IBNR”), Incurred But Not EnoughReported (the “IBNER”) and Premium Deficiency Reserve(the “PDR”) is the responsibility of the Company’sAppointed Actuary (the “Appointed Actuary”). Theactuarial valuation of these liabilities, which are estimatedusing statistical methods as at March 31, 2026 has beenduly certified by the Appointed Actuary and in his opinion,the assumptions considered by him for such valuationare in accordance with the guidelines and norms issuedby the IRDAI and the Institute of Actuaries of India inconcurrence with the IRDAI. We have relied upon theAppointed Actuary’s certificate in this regard for formingour opinion on the valuation of liabilities for outstandingclaims reserves and the PDR contained in the financialstatements of the Company.
