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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the Financial statements of the current period. These matters
were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Information Other than the 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 Annual 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 in 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.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5)
of the Companies Act, 2013 (“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 the Statement of Changes in
Equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the
Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 , as amended.

This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance
with the provision of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing
and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of the appropriate
accounting policies; making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that
we are operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting
records, relevant to the preparation and fair 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.

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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.

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
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion 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.

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.
