Other Information
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Company’s annual report, but does not include the 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 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.
Management's and Board of Director’s Responsibility for the Standalone Financial Statements
The Company’s Management and Board of Directors are 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 state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) 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
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are 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 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 is also responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
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 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 with reference to financial statements 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 in the
standalone financial statements made by the Management and Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors 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 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.
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 period 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.
b) In our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appears from our examination
of those books.
c) The standalone balance sheet, the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), the standalone
statement of changes in equity and the standalone statement of cash flows dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books
of account.
d) In our opinion, the aforesaid standalone financial statements comply with the Ind AS specified under section 133 of the Act.
e) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on 31 March 2021 taken on record by the Board of Directors,
none of the directors is disqualified as on 31 March 2021 from being appointed as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of the Act.
f) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of the Company and the operating
effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate Report in “Annexure B”.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditor’s report on the standalone financial statements of Bata India Limited
for the year ended 31 March 2021
Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause
(i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013
(Referred to in paragraph 2 (A) (f) under ‘Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements’ section of our report of even date)
Opinion
We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Bata India Limited (“the Company”) as of 31 March 2021 in
conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.
In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such
internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2021, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit
of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the “Guidance Note”).
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the
extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note
require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate
internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and whether such controls operated
effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included
obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company’s internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements.
