We believe that the audit evidencewe have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalonefinancial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. 3nd we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We havedetermined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Information Other than the Standalone Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The other information comprises theinformation included in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board's Report including Annexures to Board’s Report,Business Responsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder's information, but does not include the standalonefinancial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form ofassurance contusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doingso, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledgeobtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information; we arerequired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performanceincluding other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under section 133 of the Actread with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company andfor preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequateinternal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view and arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone Ind AS financial statements. Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis ofaccounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative butto do so
Those charged with governance are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonableassurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detecta material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually orin the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesestandalone Ind AS financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughoutthe audit. We also:
(a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, whether due tofraud 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 fraudis higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit In order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by Management.
(d) Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubton the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requiredto draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
(e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone Ind AS financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the standalone Ind AS financial statements represent the underlying transactions and eventsin a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes itprobable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced. Weconsider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results ofour 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 auditand 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 requirementsregarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought tobear 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 significancein the audit of the standalone ind AS financial statements for the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, inextremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
