BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit of the Standalone Financial Statements in accordance with the standards on Auditing
specified under section 143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Standalone 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 independence requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the Standalone financial statements under the provision of the Act, and the Rules made thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s
Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion on the Standalone financial statements.

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 period. 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 described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
AUDITOR’S REPORT THEREON.

The company’s board is responsible for the preparation of the other information. The other information
comprises the information included Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’s Report including

Annexures to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report but does not include the 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.

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.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Companies
Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial Statements to give a true
and fair view of the financial position, financial performance, & cash flows of the Company in accordance
with accounting standard & 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 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 responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE AUDIT OF 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 decision of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• identify and assess the risks of material misstatements 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 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 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 management’s use of 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.

• 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 control 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.

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.
