In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us,the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the CompaniesAct,2013 ('the Act') in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity withthe Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with theCompanies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended ('Ind AS'), and otheraccounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as atMarch 31,2024, its Loss, total comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for theyear then ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) as specified undersection 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described inthe Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of ourreport. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the 'Code of Ethics' issued byInstitute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rulesthereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with theserequirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financialstatements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of mostsignificance in our audit of the Standalone financial statements of the current period. Thesematters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Standalone financial statements as awhole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on thesematters.
We have determined that there is no key audit matter to communicate in our report.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the Other Information. The OtherInformation comprises the information included in the Board's Report including Annexures toBoard's Report and Management Discussion & Analysis (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 andwe will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to readthe other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other informationis materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement ofthis other information; we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in thisregard.
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of theAct with respect to the preparation of these Standalone financial statements that give a true andfair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensive income,changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS and accountingprinciples generally accepted in India. The responsibility also includes maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act, for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection andapplication of appropriate accounting policies; making judgement and estimates that arereasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls, that were operating effectively or ensuring accuracy and completeness of theaccounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financialstatements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether dueto fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theCompany's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related togoing concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management eitherintends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to doso.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reportingprocess.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error andto issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, but is not guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error andare considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintainprofessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financialstatements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatementresulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internalcontrol.
• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether theCompany has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting polices used and the reasonableness ofaccounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis ofaccounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability 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 thestandalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify ouropinion. 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 ceaseto continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financialstatements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone financial statements that,individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonablyknowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit workand in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identifiedmisstatements in the standalone financial statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significantdeficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters inour auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
