of changes in Equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to

the accounting principles generally accepted in India including Indian Accounting Standards

accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, and its profit,
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 (âSAâs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the âAuditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statementsâ 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 (âICAIâ) together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Statements
under the provision of the Act and rules thereunder and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and ICAI''s code of ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion on the Financial Statements.
Key Audit Matter
We have determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.
Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditorâs Report Thereon
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises the information included in Company''s Annual Report 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.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated
in section 134(5) the Act with respect to the preparation of these Financial Statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, including Other
Comprehensive Income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS specified under
133 of the Act. 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 and the 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 the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the
company''s financial reporting process.
Auditorâs 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:
(i) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of 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.
(ii) Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under 143(3)(i) of the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has
adequate internal financial controls with reference to Financial Statements in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls.
(iii) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management and board of
directors.
(iv) Conclude on the appropriateness of management''s and board of director''s use of the
going concern basis of accounting in preparation of financial statement 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.
(v) 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 decision of a
reasonably knowledgeable use 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.
