Sheet as at March 31, 2026, the Standalone Statement of
Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income),
the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the
Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then

including a summary of material accounting policies and
other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as
"Standalone financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and
according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid
Standalone financial statements give the information required
by the Companies Act, 2013 (the "Act") in the manner so
required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section
133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting
Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended ("Ind AS"), the relevant
circulars, guidelines and directions issued by the Reserve

principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs
of the Company as at March 31, 2026, its standalone profit
(including other comprehensive income), changes in equity
and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the Standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our
responsibilities under those SAs 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 Company in accordance with the Code of
Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India ('ICAI') 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 in
accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion on the Standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
Standalone financial statements for the financial year ended
March 31, 2026. These matters were addressed in the

not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have

Key Audit Matter

Auditor's Response

1.

Assessment of impairment loss allowance of expected Losses
(ECL) on loans

Audit Approach

The Company has reported total gross loans of H87,471.36 crore
and H913.40 crore of allowance for expected credit loss as on
March 31, 2026 (Refer Note 6).

The allowance for ECL on loan assets is a significant area
of judgement and estimation in the Company's Standalone
financial statements.

The determination of ECL under Ind AS 109 - Financial
Instruments - involves the application of complex models and key
assumptions and requires significant management judgement.

Our Audit approach to assess the allowance for Expected Credit Loss
on loan assets included a combination of Controls and Substantive
procedures as below:

Understanding and evaluating the internal control environment
» Testing key controls over the completeness and accuracy of data
and assumptions used in the ECL model.

» Assessing controls over the staging of loans, including
the identification of significant increase in credit risk and
default events.

» Evaluating controls around model validation, governance, and
approval processes

Information other than the Standalone financial
statements and Auditors report thereon

The Company's Management and Board of Directors is
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 auditor's report thereon. The other
information is 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 during the course of our 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
as required under SA 720 'The Auditor's responsibilities
Relating to Other Information'.

Responsibilities of Management and Board of
Directors for the Standalone financial statements

The Company's Management and the Board of Directors
is 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
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
Ind AS prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with
the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,

2015, and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India and the applicable RBI / NHB guidelines. 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 the 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 Board of Director's either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

The Management and the Board of Directors are also
responsible for overseeing the company's financial
reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
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 financial controls
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 with
reference to standalone financial statements in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls based on
our audit;

» Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by Management and Board
of Directors;

» Conclude on the appropriateness of Management and
Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of Standalone financial
statements 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;

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the
Standalone financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of
a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Standalone 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 Standalone financial statements.

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 financial 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 Standalone financial statements

for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosures about the matters 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.
