Key Audit Matters
The audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our
audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.
Note 15(c) to the Standalone Financial Statements- “Provision for Contingencies” as at March 31, 2026 the
Company has exposures towards litigations relating to various matters as set out in the aforesaid Notes.
Significant management judgment is required to assess such matters to determine the probability of
occurrence of material outflow of economic resources and whether a provision should be recognized, or a
disclosure should be made. The management judgment should also supported with legal advice in certain
cases as considered appropriate.
As the ultimate outcomes of the matters are uncertain and the positions taken by the management are based
on the application of their best judgment relating to interpretation of law regulations, it is considered to be
a Key Audit Matter.
Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion 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 statement or our knowledge obtained in the 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 to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these IND AS financial statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards(IND AS)
specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the
provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing 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 of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management and Board of Directors are responsible 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 of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of
Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 be expected to influence the economic decisions of user taken on basis of these
standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
i. Identify and access the risk of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risk, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
ii. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are
also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.
iii. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
iv. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based 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 continue as a going concern.
v. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the standalone 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 of the audit and significant 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 regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguard.
