In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Ind

the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards

Company as at March 31, 2024, and profit (including other comprehensive income), the changes in Equity and
its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of Ind AS Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs), as
specified under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those Standards are
further described in the Auditorsâ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Ind AS 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 (âthe ICAIâ) 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 there under, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAIâs 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 Ind AS 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 Ind AS Financial Statements of the current year. We did not come across any matter of such material
significance to be reported in this section.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditorsâ Report Thereon
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs Report and Management
Discussion and Analysis Report but does not include the Ind AS Financial Statements and our Auditorsâ report
thereon.
Our opinion on the Ind AS 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 Ind AS 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.
Responsibilities of the Management and those charged with governance for the Standalone Financial
Statements
The Companyâs 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 Ind AS Financial Statements that give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs (financial position), Profit or Loss (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 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 statement that give a true and fair view and are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Ind AS Financial Statements, the management is responsible for assessing the Companyâs
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 Companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditorsâ Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS Financial Statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorsâ 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
scepticism 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 with reference to Financial Statements 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 managementâs 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 Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditorâs
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
auditorâs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as
a going concern; and
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Ind AS Financial Statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the Ind AS 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.
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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditorâs 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.
