Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgment were of mostsignificance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and informing our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to becommunicated in our report.
Sr. No. Key Audit matters | Auditor's Response |
1. Revenue Recognition | Our audit procedures included the following: |
The Company recognizes revenues when the control of goods are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the net consideration which the Company expects to receive for those goods and/or services from customers in accordance with the terms of the contracts. In determining the sales price the Company considers the effects of applicable rebates and discounts (variable consideration). The terms of sales arrangements including the timing of transfer of control based on the terms of relevant contract and nature of discount and rebates arrangements create complexities that require judgment in determining sales revenues. | We read and evaluated the Company's revenue recognition policy and assessed its compliance in terms of Ind AS 115 'Revenue from contracts with customers'. |
| We assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls related to sales and applicable rebates/discounts. |
| We performed test for a sample of sales transactions by comparing the underlying sales invoices sales orders and other related documents to assess that revenue is recognized on transfer of control to the customer in accordance with the terms of the contract. |
Considering the above factors and the risk associated with revenue recognition we have determined the same to be a key audit matter. | We tested on a sample basis rebates and discount schemes as approved by the management to assess its accounting. For the samples selected we also compared that the actual rebates and discounts recognized in respect of particular schemes do not exceed their approved amounts. |
| We tested on a sample basis that revenue has been recognized in the proper period with reference to the supporting documents including confirmations from customers. |
| We read and assessed the relevant disclosures made in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. |
2. Contingent liabilities relating to taxation litigations and claims | Our audit procedures included: |
The provisions and contingent liabilities relate to ongoing litigations and claims with various authorities. | Understanding the process followed by the company for assessment and determination of the amount for provisions and contingent liabilities relating to taxation litigations. |
These relate to direct tax various indirect taxes etc. arising in the regular course of business. The assessment of a provision or contingent liability requires significant judgement by the company because of the inherent complexity in estimating future costs. The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate made by the management. | Involving subject matter experts with specialized skills and knowledge to assist in the assessment of the value of significant provisions and contingent liabilities relating to pending litigations on sample basis in light of the nature of the exposures applicable regulations and related correspondence with the authorities. |
The provisions and contingent liabilities are subject to changes in the outcomes of litigations and claims and the positions taken by the company. | We assessed managements conclusions through discussions held with their in-house legal counsel and understanding precedents in similar cases to establish the likelihood of outflow of economic resources being probable possible or remote in respect of the litigations. |
It involves significant judgement and estimation to determine the likelihood and timing of the cash outflows and interpretations of the legal aspects tax legislations and judgments previously made by authorities. | Assessing the adequacy and appropriateness of the company's disclosures in the financial statements. |

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Companies Act 2013 ("the Act") with respect to the preparation ofthese Ind AS financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financialposition financial performance including other comprehensive income changes in equityand cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedin India including Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 ofthe Act read with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 as amended.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financialreporting process.
Auditors' Responsibility for the Audit of the Ind AS Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Ind AS financialstatements as a whole are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or errorand to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAswill always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if individually or in the aggregate theycould reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on thebasis of these Ind AS financial statements.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts andthe disclosures in the standalone Ind AS financial statements. The procedures selecteddepend on the auditor's judgment including the assessment of the risks of materialmisstatement of the standalone Ind AS financial statements whether due to fraud or error.In making those risk assessments the auditor considers internal financial controlrelevant to the Company's preparation of the standalone Ind AS financial statements thatgive a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in thecircumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accountingpolicies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by the Company'sDirectors as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the standalone Ind ASfinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs. We exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Ind AS financialstatements whether due to fraud or error design and perform audit procedures responsiveto those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide abasis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusionforgery intentional omissions misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order todesign audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i)of the Companies Act 2013 we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whetherthe company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operatingeffectiveness of such controls.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonablenessof accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basisof accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained whether a material uncertaintyexists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company'sability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty existswe are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures inthe Ind AS financial statements or if such disclosures are inadequate to modify ouropinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of ourauditor's report. However future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation structure and content of the Ind AS financialstatements including the disclosures and whether the Ind AS financial statementsrepresent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fairpresentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters theplanned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including anysignificant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have compliedwith relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and to communicate with themall relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on ourindependence and where applicable related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of the Ind AS financial statements ofthe current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters inour auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when in extremely rare circumstances we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
