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.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalone FinancialStatements
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respectto the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,financial performance (including other comprehensive income), changes in equity and cash flows of the Companyin accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including Ind AS prescribed under section133 of the Act, read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company'sability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected toinfluence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement 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 areappropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressingour opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financialstatements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a materialuncertainty 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 our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably 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 ofmost significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current year and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosureabout the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicatedin our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.
