Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 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 opinion.
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 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. During the course of our audit, we have
determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Board report but does not include the Standalone Financial
Statements and our 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 Standalone 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 we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with
governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the
Companies Act, 2013 (‘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, changes in equity and cash
flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including
the Accounting Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility 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 are 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 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
1. 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 auditors 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
2. 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 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.
• 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 with reference to financial statements 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
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.
• 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
