other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company
as at 31st March, 2024, the Loss and total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its
cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit of the Financial Statements in accordance with the Standards on
Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). 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 (ICAI) together with
the independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements
under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under, and we have fulfilled our
other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI''s Code of
Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the 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 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 communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report Thereon
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the 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, Business Responsibility Report,
Corporate Governance and Shareholder''s Information, 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 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.
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
Act with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view
of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the Accounting Standards 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 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.
The Board of Directors are 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 financial controls 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 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.
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 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.
