INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
AUDITOR''S REPORT THEREON
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in the Financial Performance highlights,
Management Discussion and Analysis of Board''s Report including Annexures to board''s
Report, Business Responsibility Report, Report on Corporate Governance, Shareholder''s
Information and other information in Integrated Annual Report, but does not include the
standalone financial statements and our auditor''s report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone 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 standalone 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.
When we read the remaining other information, which we will obtain after the date of
auditors'' report and if we conclude that there is material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH
GOVERNANCE FOR THE STANDALONE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company''s Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5)
of the Act with respect to 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 Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Ind AS. 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
standalone 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 Company''s Board of Directors are 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 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 SA''s 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 standalone 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 financial control relevant to the audit in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section
143(3)(i) of the Act, 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 the 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 standalone 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 standalone financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone 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
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 standalone financial
statements of the current year 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.

entity, including foreign entity ("Intermediaries"), with the understanding, whether

or indirectly lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner
