Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) 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 Standalone Financial

of India together with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial

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 year. 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. We have determined the matters

Information Other than the Standalone Financial
Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for
the preparation of the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
the Annual Report (including the Director’s Report,
Management Discussion and Analysis, Corporate
Governance 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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged
with Governance 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, changes in equity and
cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind
AS 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 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.
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 also responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements
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 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 based on these
Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
scepticism 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 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 Standalone
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 the
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
Standalone 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 financial
controls 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.
