Auditor Report of Skipper Ltd.

Mar 31, 2025

We have audited the accompanying standalone financial
statements of Skipper Limited ("the Company"), which
comprises the balance sheet as at March 31 2025, the
statement of profit and loss, (including the statement of other
comprehensive income), the statement of cash flows and the
statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and
notes to the standalone financial statements, including a
summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory
information (hereinafter referred to as "the standalone financial
statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act,
2013 ("the Act") in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards
prescribed under section 133 of the act, read with relevant rules
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of
the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, its profit
including other comprehensive income, its cash flows and the
changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

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
Standards 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 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 standalone 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 standalone
financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025.
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. For each matter below, our description of how our
audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

Information Other than the Standalone 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 annual report, but
does not include the standalone financial statements and our
auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report. Our
opinion on the 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 financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above 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. When we
read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the
matter to those charged with governance. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

Management''s Responsibility 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, cash flows and changes in equity
of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read
with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015,
as amended. 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 the 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 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 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 scepticism throughout the
audit. We also:

Â¦ 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.

Â¦ 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(3X0 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.

Â¦ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.

Â¦ 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.

Â¦ 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.

Other Matter

The audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended
March 31,2024 was carried out and reported on by predecessor
auditor, who have expressed their unmodified opinion vide their
audit report dated 02 May, 2024.

Our report on the standalone financial statements is not modified
in respect of the above matter.

Information Other than the Standalone financial statements and Auditorâs 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 annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon. The annual report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report. Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above 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. When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Managementâs 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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 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.

Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company''s financial reporting process.

Auditorâs 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

â¢ 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.

â¢ 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 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.

â¢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

â¢ 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.

â¢ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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 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.

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 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules 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 standalone financial statements.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND 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 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.

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 standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. 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 the 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 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.

Those charged with governance 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 scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

â¢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

â¢ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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.

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SKIPPER LIMITED (âthe Company") as of 31^st March 2018 in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date

MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls 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 (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 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.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 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 31^st 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.

Report on the Internal Financial Controls under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act")

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of SKIPPER LIMITED ("the Company") as of 31st March 2016
in conjunction with our audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

MANAGEMENT''S RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company''s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls 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 (''ICAI''). These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including
adherence to company''s policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy
and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the
Companies Act, 2013.

AUDITOR''S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company''s internal financial controls over financial reporting based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under section 143(10)
of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of
Internal Financial Controls and both issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance
Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system
over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting
included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. 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.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
Company''s internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

MEANING OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company''s internal financial control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company''s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. 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 2016, 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.
