Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the standalone Ind AS financialstatements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and toissue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance butis not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these standalone Ind ASfinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of materialmisstatement of the standalone Ind AS financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resultingfrom error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal controlrelevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act,we are also responsible for expressing our opinionon whether the Company has adequate internalfinancial controls system in place and theoperating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosuresmade by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness ofmanagement’s use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may castsignificant doubt on the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required todraw attention in our auditor’s report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if suchdisclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.Our conclusions are based on the audit evidenceobtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a goingconcern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the standalone Ind AS financialstatements, including the disclosures, andwhether the standalone Ind AS financialstatements represent the underlying transactionsand events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in thestandalone financial statements that, individually or inaggregate, makes it probable that the economicdecisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of thestandalone financial statements may be influenced.We consider quantitative materiality and qualitativefactors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and inevaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluatethe effect of any identified misstatements in thestandalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scopeand timing of the audit and significant audit findings,including any significant deficiencies in internal controlthat we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and tocommunicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards.
From the matters communicated with those chargedwith governance, we determine those matters thatwere of most significance in the audit of the standaloneInd AS financial statements for the financial year endedMarch 31, 2026 and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rarecircumstances, we determine that a matter should notbe communicated in our report because the adverseconsequences of doing so would reasonably beexpected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
