Basis for Opinion
3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section 143(10) of
the Act. 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 ('ICAI') together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the rules thereunder, 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.
Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report thereon
4. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Director Report, 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 information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or
our knowledge obtained in the 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 omer information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
5. The accompanying 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 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 Standards
specified under section 133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2021 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 financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error.
6. In preparing the 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.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
7. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
8. 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 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation
9. 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.
