In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations

performance including other comprehensive income), its cash flows and changes in equity

under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the
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 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Rules
thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and 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 Ind AS financial statements for the financial
year ended 31st March 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,
and we
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our
description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context We have
determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in
our report. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditors
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone Ind AS financial statements section of
our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the
performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The results of our audit
procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the
basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying standalone Ind AS financial statements.
| Key Audit matters |
How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
| (a) Impairment of financial assets (expected credit losses) |
| Ind AS 109 requires the Company to recognise impairment loss allowance
towards its financial assets (designated at amortised cost and fair value through other
comprehensive income) using the expected credit loss (ECL) approach. Such ECL allowance is
required to be measured considering the guiding principles of Ind AS 109 including: |
• We read and assessed the Companys Accounting policies for impairment of
financial assets and their compliance with Ind AS 109. |
| •We evaluated the reasonableness of the Management estimates by understanding the
process of ECL estimation. |
| • unbiased, probability weighted outcome under various scenarios; • time
value of money; |
• Tested the ECL model, including assumptions and underlying computation. |
| • impact arising from forward looking macro-economic factors and; |
• Assessed the floor/minimum rates of provisioning applied by the Company for
loan products with inadequate historical defaults. |
| • availability of reasonable and supportable information without undue costs. Applying
these principles involves significant estimation in various aspects, such as: |
• Audited disclosures included in the Ind AS financial statements in respect of
expected credit losses |
| • grouping of borrowers based on homogeneity by using appropriate statistical
techniques; |
|
| • staging of loans and estimation of behavioral life; |
|
| • determining macro-economic factors impacting credit quality of receivables; |
|
| • estimation of losses for loan products with no/minimal historical defaults. Considering
the significance of such allowance to the overall financial statements and the degree of
estimation involved in computation of expected credit losses, this area is considered as a
key audit matter. |

Managements Responsibility 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 Ind AS 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 accounting Standards specified under section
133 of the Act. 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. In preparing the 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
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Companys financial
reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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 on the basis of these
financial statement
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• 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.
• 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 Companies Act, 2013, 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.
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 are required to
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors 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.
