Attention is drawn to the fact that figures for the last quarter ended 31 March 2019 and the corresponding quaiter ended in the previous year as repotted in these standalone annual financial results are the balancing figures between aud ited figures in respect of the full financ ial year and the published year to date figures upto the end of the third quatter of the relevant financial year. Also the figures up to the end of the third quarter had only been reviewed and not subjected to audit.

T hese standalone annual financial results have been prepared on the basis of the annual financial statements and reviewed quarterly financial results which are the responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these standalone annual fi nanc ial results based on our audit of the annual financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as per Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.

We conducted our audit in accordance w ith the auditing standards generally accepted in India.

An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts disclosed as financial results. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by Management. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis fo r our opinion.
