Information other than the Standalone
Financial Statements and Auditor''s Report
thereon
6. The Company''s Board of Directors are responsible
for 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 standalone 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 standalone
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
standalone 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.
Responsibilities of Management and
Those Charged with Governance for the
Standalone Financial Statements
7. The accompanying standalone financial statements
have been approved by the Company''s Board
of Directors. The Company''s Board of Directors
are responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation
and presentation of these standalone 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 Ind AS specified under section 133 of the
Act and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records
in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding of 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 standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
8. In preparing the standalone financial statements,
the Board of Directors 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 the Board of Directors
either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
9. The Board of Directors is also responsible
for overseeing the Company''s financial
reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
10. 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 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 users taken on
the basis of these standalone financial statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards
on Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of
the Act 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 Board of
Directors'' 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; and
⢠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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.

Requirements

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.
8. In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Board
of Directors 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 the Board
of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
9. The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company''s financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements
10. 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 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 users taken on the
basis of these standalone financial statements.
11. As part of an audit in accordance with Standards on
Auditing, specified under section 143(10) of the Act
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 ofaccounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management;
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of
Directors'' use ofthe going concern basis ofaccounting
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; and
⢠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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.

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 such other information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the Director''s Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibility of Management 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, specified under section 133 of the Act.
