We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs)specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are furtherdescribed in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute ofChartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the independence requirements that are relevant toour audit of the financial statements for the half year and year ended March 31, 2025 under the provisionsof the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities inaccordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence wehave obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financialstatements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in ouraudit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context ofour audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do notprovide a separate opinion on these matters.
• The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the Directors' Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor'sreport thereon.
• Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not expressany form of assurance conclusion thereon.
• In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the otherinformation and, in doing so, consider whether such other information is materially inconsistent withthe financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materiallymisstated.
• If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thisother information, we are required 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 withrespect to the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition and financial performance of the Company in accordance with the Accounting Standards referredto in Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"), read with Rule 7 of Companies (Accounts) Rules,2014.
This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with theprovisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgmentsand estimates that are reasonable and prudent, the design, implementation and maintenance of internalcontrol relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fairview and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 thegoing concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit 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 theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud mayinvolve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial controls relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financialcontrols system in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, tomodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.
