the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair
view of the financial position, financial performance 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, read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts)
Rules, 2014. This responsibility also includes the maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provision of the Act
for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and
detecting the 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 internal financial control, 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.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 thereunder. 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
financial control relevant to the Company's preparation of the
financial statements that give true and fair view 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
Company's Directors, 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 on the financial statements.

liability will be increased by Rs. 52.25 crores.
