We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion onthe financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of thesefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report except as reported in Emphasis ofMatter above para.

The other informationcomprises the information included in Board's Report including Annexure to Board's Report, Management Discussionand Analysis and Shareholder's Information but does not include the financial statements and our Auditors' reportthereon.
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 identifiedabove when it becomes available, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtainedin the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based onthe work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this information, we are required to reportthat fact. Wehave nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to thepreparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance andcash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance ofadequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of theaccountingrecords, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basisof accounting unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realisticalternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance but is not aguarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisionsof users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk ofnot detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud ishigher than for one resulting from error, as fraud 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 to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the 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 with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on theaudit evidence obtained,whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the ability of the Company to continueas a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained upto the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueasa going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during ouraudit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of suchcommunication.
