which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31,2025,
the Statement of Profit and Loss, and Statement of
Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, and notes

In our opinion and to the best of our information and

the Companies Act, 2013 (âthe Actâ) in the manner so

with the accounting principles generally accepted in

March, 2025 and Profit and its cash flows for the year

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditorâs
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics
issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the Code
of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises
the Boardâs Report including Annexures to Boardâs
Report but does not include the financial statements
and our auditorâs report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or our knowledge obtained in the 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.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial
Statements
The Companyâs Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect
to the preparation of these financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position and
financial performance of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the accounting Standards specified
under section 133 of the Act. 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 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, Board of
Directors is responsible for assessing the Companyâs
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors are also responsible for
overseeing the companyâs financial reporting process.
Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorâs 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 SAs 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 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 control relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under
section 143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are
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
management.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of managementâs
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
Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs
report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditorâs 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the 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 significant 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.
