Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future events or condi ons may cause the Company to cease to con nue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presenta on, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transac ons and events in a manner that achieves fair presenta on.

The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal control over financial repor ng criteria established by the Company considering the essen al components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting issued by the Ins tute of Chartered Accountants of India (‘ICAI).

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal financial controls over financial repor ng based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Re-por ng (the "Guidance Note") and the Standards on Audi ng, issued by ICAI and deemed to be prescribed under sec on 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013, 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 Ins tute of Chartered Accountants of India. 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 repor ng was established and maintained and if such controls operated e ec vely in all material respects. Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls system over financial repor ng and their opera ng e ec veness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial repor ng included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial repor ng, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and tes ng and evalua ng the design and opera ng e ec veness of internal control based on the assessed risk. 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. 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 over financial repor ng.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

A companys internal financial control over financial repor ng is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial repor ng and the prepara on of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accoun ng principles. A companys internal financial control over financial repor ng includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transac- ons and disposi ons of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transac ons are recorded as necessary to permit prepara on of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accoun ng principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisa ons of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding preven on or mely detec on of unauthorised acquisi on, use, or disposi on of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limita ons of Internal Financial Controls over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limita ons of internal financial controls over financial repor ng, 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, projec ons of any evalua on of the internal financial controls over financial repor ng to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial repor ng may become inadequate because of changes in condi ons, 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 re-por ng and such internal financial controls over financial repor ng were opera ng e ec vely as at 31^st March 2023, based on the internal control over financial repor ng criteria established by the Company considering the essen al components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Ins tute of Chartered Accountants of India.
