Key Audit Matters
The Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement were of most signi cant in our audit of standalone nancial statement of the current period.

Our opinion on the Standalone nancial 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 nancial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone nancial statements or our knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibility 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 nancial statements that give a true and fair view of the nancial position, nancial performance including other comprehensive income, cash ows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and other 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 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 nancial controls, that were operating e ectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone nancial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone nancial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matter relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Director either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease the operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys nancial reporting process.
Auditors Responsibility for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our Objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone nancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement whether due to error or fraud, 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to in uence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone nancial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Standalone nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is su cient 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 nancial 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 nancial controls system in place and the operating e ectiveness 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 cast signi cant 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 nancial 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 Standalone nancial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Standalone nancial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatement in the standalone nancial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable users of the Standalone nancial statement may be in uenced. We considered quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in
(I) Planning the scope of our Audit work and evaluating results of our work.
(II) To evaluate the e ects of any identi ed misstatements in the standalone nancial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signi cant audit ndings, including any signi cant de ciencies 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 matter communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most signi cance in the audit of standalone nancial statement of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditors report unless law or regulations preclude 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 accepted to outweigh the public interest bene t of such communication.
