Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards on auditing specified
under section 143 (10) of the Companies Act, 2013. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described 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 of Chartered Accountants
of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the rules there under, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the code of ethics.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters:

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a
whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters.

We are of the opinion that there are no other key matters as per SA 701, to be
reported for the ensuing year under audit.

Information other than the financial statements and auditors’ report thereon:

The Company’s board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the other
information. The other information comprises the information included in the Board’s
Report including Annexure to Board’s Report, Business Responsibility Report but
does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read
the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained 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 are required to report that fact. We have
nothing to report in this regard.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements:

The Company’s board of directors are responsible for the matters stated in section
134 (5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these 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. 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 statement that give a true and fair
view 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 to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.

The boards of directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial
reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements:

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 auditor’s 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 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 or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If
we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s 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
auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements:

As required by the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order”), issued
by the Central Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of section 143 of the
