relating to transfer of control.
The timing of revenue recognition isrelevant to the reported performance ofthe Company. Revenue recognition hasbeen identified as a key audit matter asthere could be incentives or externalpressures to meet expectations resultingin revenue being overstated or recognized
- On a sample basis, we tested the revenue transactions recorded during the year verifyingthe underlying documents to assess whether the revenue is recognized appropriatelywhen control is transferred.

before the control has been transferred.

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the otherinformation. The other information comprises the informationincluded in the Management Discussion and Analysis, Board’sReport including Annexures to Board’s Report, BusinessResponsibility Report, Corporate Governance and Shareholder’sInformation, but does not include the financial statements and ourauditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover theother information and we do not express any form of assuranceconclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, ourresponsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,consider whether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained during thecourse of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there isa material misstatement of this other information, we are required toreport that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the mattersstated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparationof these Financial Statements that give a true and fair view ofthe financial position, financial performance, including othercomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of theCompany in accordance with accounting principles generallyaccepted in India, including Ind AS specified under section133 of the Act read with the Companies (Indian AccountingStandards) Rules, 2015, as amended. This responsibilityalso includes maintenance of adequate accounting records inaccordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of theassets of the Company and for preventing and detecting fraudsand other irregularities; selection and application of appropriateimplementation and maintenance of accounting policies; makingjudgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internalfinancial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring theaccuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant tothe preparation and presentation of the Financial Statement thatgive a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, management is responsiblefor assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern andusing the going concern basis of accounting unless managementeither intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, orhas no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing thecompany’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe Financial Statements as a whole are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue anauditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuranceis a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or inaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence theeconomic decisions of users taken on the basis of these FinancialStatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of theFinancial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, designand perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, andobtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate toprovide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detectinga material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher thanfor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or theoverride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to theaudit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriatein the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of the Act, weare also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has internal financial controls with reference toFinancial Statements in place and the operating effectivenessof such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relateddisclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of thegoing concern basis of accounting and, based on the auditevidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty existsrelated to events or conditions that may cast significantdoubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, ifsuch disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up tothe date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as agoing concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe Financial Statements, including the disclosures, andwhether the Financial Statements represent the underlyingtransactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the FinancialStatements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probablethat the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable userof the Financial Statements may be influenced. We considerquantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning thescope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work;and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in theFinancial Statements.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit andsignificant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies ininternal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statementthat we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regardingindependence, and to communicate with them all relationshipsand other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements for thefinancial year ended March 31, 2025 and are therefore the keyaudit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors reportunless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our report because theadverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expectedto outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
