the Accounting Standards referred to in sub-section (3C) of section 211
of the Companies Act, 1956 ("the Act") read with the General Circular

relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material

Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing issued by The Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. 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 procedure to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of

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, but not for the

internal control. An audit also includes evaluating and appropriateness

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.
