9) The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for thematters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act,2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation of theseStandalone Financial Statements that give a true and fairview of the financial position, the financial performance,total comprehensive income, changes in equity and cashflows of the Company in accordance with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, including the IndianAccounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section133 of the Act.

12) Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the standalone financial statements as a wholeare free from material misstatement, whether due to fraudor error and to issue an auditor's report that includesour opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individuallyor in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these standalone financial statements.
13) 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 material misstatementof the Standalone Financial Statements, whetherdue to fraud or error, design and perform auditprocedures responsive to those risks and obtainaudit evidence that is sufficient and appropriateto provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, asfraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentionalomissions, misrepresentations or the override ofinternal control.

If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor'sreport to the related disclosures in the StandaloneFinancial Statements or if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the Standalone Financial Statements,including the disclosures and whether theStandalone Financial Statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
