changes in equity for the year ended 31st March 2024, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information (herein

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,
the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 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, (âInd ASâ) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31st March 2024, and Profit

equity for the year ended 31st March 2024.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013 and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included Board''s Report including Annexures to Board''s
Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. Our
opinion on the 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 financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether
the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained during the course of our 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.
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) 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
Ind AS and accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS 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 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, management 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 management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting
process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 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.
2. 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 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 Companies
Act, 2013, 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 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 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 the financial 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
