We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing(âSAâ) specified under Section 143(10)
of the Act. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorâs 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 (âICAIâ) 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 thereunder, 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 audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit
of the standalone financial statements of the current period. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the
key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

The Companyâs 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, Boardâs Report
including Annexures to Boardâs Report, and Shareholderâs Information, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditorâs 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 Companyâs 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 including other comprehensi58 income, cash flows and changes in equity of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards)
Rules, 2015. 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 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.
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 auditorâs 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 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 managementâs use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on Management representation letter 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.
⢠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.
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.
