Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon
The Company's management and Board of Directors are 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 Annexures to Board's Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's Information, but does
not include the Standalone financial statements and our auditor's report there on. The other information 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 do not express
any form of assurance conclusion there on.
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 financial
statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read the other information identified above, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement
therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Management's Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company's Board of Directors are 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, total comprehensive income, and cash flows of the Company in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, referred to in Section 133 of Companies
Act 2013, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting standard) 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 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.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Standalone financial statements based on our audit. We have
taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing standards and matters which are
required to be included in the audit report under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
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 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 an 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 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Standalone financial statements that, individually or in
aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user 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 standalone 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
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 in our report because
the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication
