....banks and NBFCs Review Report to ......................... We have reviewed the accompanying statement of unaudited financial results of _________ (Name of the Company) for the period ended ______. This statement is the responsibility of the Company's management and has been approved by the Board of Directors/ committee of Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagement (SRE) 2400, Engagements to Review Financial Statements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statement of unaudited financ....
