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 made thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics issued by
ICAI. 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 are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have

Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

1.

Contingent liabilities:

The Company is in receipt of show cause notices from
Licensing authority. The Company has disputed such
claim. The review of claim involve a high degree of
judgement to determine the possible outcome, and
estimates relating to the timing and the amount of outflow
of resources embodying economic benefits.

The audit of Contingent liabilities is significant to our audit
as any adverse outcome may have material impact on this
Company.

Principal Audit Procedures Performed:

management’s assessment.

b) We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design,
and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls
related to management’s risk assessment process for
legal matter.

c) We obtained and read external legal opinion and other
evidences provided by management to corroborate
management’s assessment of the legal matter.

d) Assessed the relevant accounting policies and
disclosures in the standalone financial statements
for compliance with the requirements of accounting
standards.

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 Board’s Report (including annexures thereto) and Management Discussion and Analysis but does not include the
standalone financial statements, consolidated 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 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.

Responsibilities of Management 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 (including other
comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting 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 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 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 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 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 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 systems in place with reference to standalone financial
statements 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.

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.
