Other Information
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the annual report but does not include
the Standalone Financial Statements and our Auditors Report thereon, The Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors Report. Our opinion
on the Standalone Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will

standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available 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 appear to be materially misstated. When we
read the annual report, if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and take appropriate

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with Governance for the Standalone
Financial Statements
The Companys 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 that give a true and fair view of the financial
position, financial performance (including other comprehensive income), cash flows and
Changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards specified in the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standard) Rules, (as amended) under Section 133 of theAct. 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 companys 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 the cease operations or has no
realistic alternative but to do so, those Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the companys financial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibilities for Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objective is 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 auditors report that includes our opinion, reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that 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 on the
basis of these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain skepticism throw-out the audit. We also;
• Identify and asses the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone
Financial Statements whether due to fraud or error design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risk and obtained audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide basis for our opinion. The risk of not deducting 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 and understanding of internal 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 responsible for expressing our opinion 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 reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of managements 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 Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are to require to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosures in
the Standalone Financial Statements or, if such disclosure are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusion are based on the audit evidence obtained upto the date of our
auditors report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents 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.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planed 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 the we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence ,and to communicate with them
all relationship and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safe guards.
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 matter in
our auditors report unless law or regulations precludes public disclosures about the
matters or when in extremely rare circumstances ,we determine that a matter should note be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequence of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communications

Annexure A to Independent Auditors Report
Referred to in paragraph (g) of the independent Audit Report of even date to the
members of Autolite (India) Limited on the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements for the
year ended March 31, 2019.
Report on the Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements under
Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of theAct
1. We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to Financial
statements of Autolite (India) Limited ("the company") as of March 31, 2019 in
conjunction with our audit of the standalone Ind AS Financial Statements of the Company
for the year ended on that date.
Managements Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls
2. The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal
financial controls based on the internal control with reference to financial statements
criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal
control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial
Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). These
responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient
conduct of its business, including adherence to companys policies, the safeguarding of
its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial
information, as required under theAct.
Auditors Responsibility
3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial
controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over
Financial Reporting (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Auditing deemed
to be prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Act to the extent applicable to an audit of
internal financial controls, both applicable to an audit of internal financial controls
and both issued by the ICAI. Those standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements
was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material
respects.
4. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy
of internal financial controls system with reference to financial statements and their
operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls
with reference to financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
financial control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the
auditors judgement, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
5. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Companys internal financial controls system
with reference to financial statements.
Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial statements
6. A Companys internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control with
reference to financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls with reference to financial
statements
7. Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management
override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with
reference to financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the
internal financial control with reference to financial statements may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the polices or
procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion
8. In our opinion, the company has maintained , in all material respects, an adequate
internal financial controls systems with reference to financial statements and such
internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were operating
effectively as at March 31, 2019, based on the internal control over financial criteria
established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated
in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over financial reporting
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
