REPORT ON THE INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS UNDER CLAUSE(I) OF
SUB-SECTION 3 OF SECTION 143 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013
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 financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position , financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting
Standards specified under Section 133 of the Act, 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 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.
Auditors Responsibilities
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 statements.
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.
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 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.
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
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.

controls system over financial reporting.
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 statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal financial control 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.
Inherent 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 March 31,2024 , 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 issues by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India
