Income), the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows and

Standards on Auditing 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 Standalone Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the

together with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the standalone financial statements
under the provisions of the Act and the rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities

KEY AUDIT MATTER

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS AND AUDITOR'S REPORT THEREON

?. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management Discussion
and Analysis Report and Director’s Report, but does not

include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The Management Discussion
and Analysis Report and Director’s Report are expected
to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s
report.

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 identified above when it becomes available
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial
statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the other information, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged
with governance.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSECHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONEFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7. The accompanying standalone financial statements
have been approved by the Company’s Board of
Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of
the Act with respect to the preparation and presentation
of these standalone financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the Ind AS specified under section
133 of the Act and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.

8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Board of Directors is 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 the Board of Directors either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THESTANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10. 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 Standards on
Auditing 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 users taken on the
basis of these standalone financial statements.

11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act,
we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, 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;

• 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 financial statements
in place and the operating effectiveness of such
controls;

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management;

^• Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of
Directors’ 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; and

• 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.

12. 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.

13. 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
safeguards.

14. From the matters communicated with those charged
with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.

on our audit, we report that the Company has paid
remuneration to its directors during the year in

h) With respect to the other matters to be included in

any person(s) or entity(ies), including

with the understanding, whether
recorded in writing or otherwise, that the
intermediary shall, whether, directly or

shall, whether directly or indirectly, lend
or invest in other persons or entities
