nothing to report in this regard.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceand cash flows of the
Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Accounting Standards referred to in Section 133 of Companies Act 2013, read
with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act
for safeguarding 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

related to going concern and using the going concernbasis of accounting unless management

alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys financial reporting
process.
Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audit. We have taken into account the provisions of the Act, the accounting and auditing
standards and matters which are required to be included in the audit report under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made there under.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under
section 143(10) of the Act. 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 procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of the Accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall 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.
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 sufficientand 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 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 castsignificant doubt on the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditors 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 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 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.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that,
individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a
reasonably knowledgeableuser of the financial statements may be influenced. We consider
quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in(i) planning the scopeof our audit work
and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any
identified misstatements in the financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant auditfindings, including
anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify duringour 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.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls over

Reporting (the "Guidance Note") issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India and the Standards on Auditing prescribed underSection143(10)of the Companies
Act,2013,to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls. 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 over financial reporting was established and maintained and if such
controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of
the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures

material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to

Meaning of internal financial Controls over Financial reporting
A companys internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statement for external purpose in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial controls over financial
reporting 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 authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial
reporting, 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 over financial
reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control
over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Opinion:
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, an adequate internal
financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls
over financial reporting were operating effectively as at 31 March 2023, based on the
internal control over financial reporting 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
