Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Board's Report including Annexures to Board's
Report, Management Discussion and Analysis, Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance
Report and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the
standalone financial statements 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
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 statements
or our knowledge obtained during 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.

Responsibilities of Management / Trustees and
Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters
stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation
of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position, financial performance, changes

in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Indian Accounting Standards specified under Section 133
of the Act. 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, 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.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

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 users taken on the 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:

• 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
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 disclosures made by management;

• 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;

• 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; and

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial statements of Trust of the Company to express
an opinion on the standalone financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance
of the audit of the standalone financial statements of which
we are the independent auditors. For the Trust included
in the standalone financial statements, which have been
audited by other auditor, such other auditor remain
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance
of the audit carried by them. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.

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
safeguards.

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.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of Trust included in the
standalone financial statements of the Company whose financial
statements reflect total assets of H 2,522.24 lakhs as at March
31, 2026, total revenue of H 81.38 lakhs and net cash in flows
of H 13.52 lakhs for the year ended on that date, as considered
in the standalone financial statements. The financial statements
of this Trust have been audited by other auditor whose reports
have been furnished to us, and our opinion in so far as it relates
to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of this Trust,
is based solely on the report of other auditor.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of the above matter.

The feature of recording audit trail (edit log)
covers all data changes initiated by users of the
software systems. However, the audit trail log
does not cover for changes to source code of the
accounting software used for maintaining books
of account, except in case of payroll processing
software. Hence, we are unable to verify the
audit trail for payroll processing software.

Further, the audit trail (edit log) facility was
enabled and operated throughout the year for
the respective accounting software. We did
not come across any instance of the audit trail
feature being tampered with and the audit trail
has been preserved by the Company as per the
statutory requirements for record retention.
