Changes in Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and a

the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under
section 143 (10)of the Companies Act, 2013. 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 together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of
the Companies Act’2013 and the rules there under, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the code of ethics. We believe that
the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
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 did not
determine any Key audit matters to be communicated 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
informationand, 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 Financial Statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position,financial performance, total comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other accounting
principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility alsoincludes 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 operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of
the accounting records, relevant to the preparation andpresentation 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 is 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 Financial Statements as a
whole are freefrom 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 Standards on Auditing
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 userstaken on the basis of
these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional
judgmentand 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 detectinga 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 internalcontrol.
• 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 controlssystem 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
accountingand, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists relatedto 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 standalone 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 standalone Ind AS financial statements
that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeable user of the Ind AS 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 doingso would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
