Litigations, Provisions and contingent
liabilities

The Company has several litigations which
also include matters under dispute which
involves significant management judgement
and estimates on the possible outcome of the
litigations and consequent provisioning thereof
or disclosure as contingent liabilities.

Refer Note 22 to the Standalone Financial
Statements.

Our Audit procedures included the following:

As part of the audit process, we obtained from the management
details of matters under disputes including ongoing and completed
tax assessments, demands and other litigations. We also
performed the following audit procedures:

• Evaluation and testing of the design of internal controls
followed by the Company relating to litigations and open tax
positions for direct and indirect taxes and process followed
to decide provisioning or disclosure as Contingent Liabilities;

• Discussed with Company''s legal team and taxation team
for sufficient understanding of on-going and potential legal
matters impacting the Company;

• We also involved our internal tax experts to evaluate the
management''s underlying judgements in making their
estimates with regard to such matters.

Information other than the Financial Statement and Auditor’s Report thereon

The Company''s management and Board of Directors are responsible for preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Management discussion and analysis, board''s report including
Annexure to Board''s Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s information, but does not include the Standalone
Financial Statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The Board''s Report including Annexure to Board''s Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholder''s Information are expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Any Material misstatement thereon pertaining to it will be reported thereon.

Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will 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 and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone
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.

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company''s management and 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 Standalone Financial Statements that give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, total 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, including the
Accounting Standards 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by the Companies (Auditor''s Report) Order, 2021 (“the Order”), issued by the Central Government of India

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 presentation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position and financial performance in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under section 133 of the Act, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules 2014. 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 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.

I have conducted the audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under Section 143 (10) of the Act. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor''s judgment including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal financial control relevant to the Company''s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on whether the Company has in place adequate internal financial control system over financial reporting and the operating effectiveness of such controls. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company''s Directors as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my qualified audit opinion.
