 misstatement of this other information, we are
 required to report that fact. We have nothing to report

 •    When we read the Annual Report, if we concludethat there is a material misstatement therein, we are

 Responsibilities of Management andBoard of Directors for the Financial
 Statements
 The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
 to the preparation of these financial statements that
 give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
 performance including other comprehensive income, cash
 flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
 with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
 including Ind AS 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 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.
 In preparing the financial statements, managementand 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 the Board of
 Directorseither intend to liquidate the Company or to cease
 operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
 The Company'sBoard of Directors is also responsible foroverseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
 
 Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit ofthe Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the 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 financial
 statements.
 As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional
 skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
 •    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof 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 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 financial controlsrelevant 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 policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
 and related disclosures made by the management.
 •    Conclude on the appropriateness of management's useof 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 financial statements or, if suchdisclosures 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 andcontent of the financial statements, including the
 disclosures, and whether the financial statements
 represent the underlying transactions and events in a
 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 of a
 reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements
 may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality
 and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit
 work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to
 evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
 financial statements.
 We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
 timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
 any significant deficiencies in internal financial controls
 that we identify during our audit.
 We also provide those charged with governance with astatement 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 withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of most
 significance in the audit of the 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.
