Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the

Information other than the Standalone Financial

Statements and Auditor's Report thereon

6. The Company's Board of Directors are responsible for
the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Management Discussion
and Analysis, Report on Corporate Governance, Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Report and Directors'
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 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 other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with

Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

7. The accompanying standalone 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 standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance including other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS specified
under section 133 of the Act 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.

8. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of
Directors are 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 intend to liquidate the Company or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do
so.

9. Those 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

10. 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 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
standalone financial statements.

11. 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:

Ý 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;

Ý 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 system with
reference to financial statements in place and the
operating effectiveness of such controls;

Ý Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management;

Ý 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

Ý 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone 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 communicated
in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public
interest benefits of such communication.
