account or to be disclosed as a contingent liability.

Other Information

4. The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other
information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Management Discussion and Analysis; Board''s
Report including Annexures to Board Report, Corporate
Governance and Shareholders'' Information but does not include
the financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The
aforesaid documents are expected to be made available to us after
the date of this auditor''s report.

5. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other
information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

6. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information when it becomes
available 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.

7. When we read the aforesaid documents, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to
communicate the matters to those charged with governance.

Management''s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

8. 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,
changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the 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 financial statement that give a
true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

9. 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.

10. The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
company''s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

11. 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.

12. 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.

• Obtained 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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 auditor''s report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matters or when 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.

16. 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31st March, 2018, based on the internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
