B. Operations of the Schemes Axis Mutual Fund (‘Axis MF’) has been focused on taking big strides on digital front. We

continued on a strong growth trajectory with respect to Digital Sales and Service. Following major initiatives were executed:

Digital experience Platform (DXP): Envisaged and built a Digital experience Layer (DXP) which forms the backbone of all digital channels. Created using micro-services based middleware, this DXP services all the channels of digital interaction between Axis MF and end users. This enables faster on boarding of new features across channels & new channels too. This uses a lot of reusable components from technology perspective and thus reducing the cost incurred and Time to Market(TTM). We have on boarded our new B2C App on to this platform already. We are working towards getting our other channels (Website, B2B etc.) also onto DXP.

B2C App: Launched a revamped Investor App (Axis Mutual Fund App) with DXP serving as the middleware layer. This app is built to act as a bridge of interaction between Axis MF & the investor. They can explore funds, transact, track their portfolio & reach out to us through the App. Alternatively we can give a better personalized experience to the investor through notifications, alerts etc. We have a clear roadmap to enhance our digital assets to meet the expectations of the new age digital users.

C. Future Outlook Summary and Background: Indian economy and markets have had a tough last couple of

years. Just as the economy was showing signs of overcoming the slowdown which was deep and hurt consumers across segments it was laid low by the Covid-19 related lock down. The challenge has been worsened by the global nature of the shock. Further there is limited fiscal space available to the government to take aggressive steps to overcome the disruption. However, the RBI has been aggressive in taking steps to ensure that the impact to the financial sector is managed smoothly. While the near term outlook remains extremely uncertain, over the medium term we expect things to slowly start normalising.

Equity outlook : The financial year 2020 ended on a tumultuous note for the markets on account of the Covid scare. Equity markets had a significant correction to close the year at multi-year lows and with the economy facing the challenges of a lock down.

Even before the news on the Corona virus and the subsequent shutdown, we were concerned about the quality and consistency of earnings that were coming through amidst the weak economic background. In the current situation, as we see earnings downgrades across the board, companies that have the ability to withstand the long term revenue vacuum will be winners as the cycle recovers.

Medium to long term we remain bullish on the India story and believe that the impact of the challenges – however painful they may seem right now – will ultimately prove to be temporary for the economy as a whole. We remain focused on our investment philosophy that has always looked to capture earnings driven growth over sustainably large time periods. This has worked well for us and our portfolios are testament to this philosophy.

Debt Market Outlook: The challenges caused by Covid-19 impacted the debt markets as well, as we saw severe dislocations closer to the fiscal year-end. Active steps by RBI have helped restore some balance to the markets although investor sentiment remained a bit nervous.

The path for markets will be driven by the way forward on the lock down and how quickly the economy can normalize. The dislocations are also putting a spotlight on credit funds after what has been a tough year for these on account of a number of credit events.

With credit risk coming to the fore once again, it has again highlighted that debt funds are not risk free investments and investors should heed caution while investing in relatively high risk high reward debt products.

At Axis AMC, we believe that the key to navigating the tough market environment would be to remain completely focused on our investment process which targets maintaining portfolio quality and risk-adjusted-returns.

As always, our prudent investment norms and strong risk mitigation framework form the bedrock of all our credit evaluation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Trustees of Axis Mutual Fund

Axis Liquid Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Liquid Fund (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, surplus / deficit and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the year ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by Regulation 55 (4) of the Regulations, we report that:

(a) We have obtained all information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit; and

(b) The balance sheet and the revenue account have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and standards as specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations.

2. As required by Clause 5 (ii) (2) of the Eleventh Schedule of the Regulations, we report that the balance sheet and the revenue account are in agreement with the books of account of the Scheme.

3. As required by the Eight Schedule of the Regulations, we report that, in our opinion and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, the methods used to value non - traded securities, as at 31 March 2020, as determined by the Board of Directors of the AMC, are in accordance with the Regulations and other guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India as applicable and approved by the Board of Directors of the Trustees, are fair and reasonable.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the year ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by Regulation 55 (4) of the Regulations, we report that:

(a) We have obtained all information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit; and

(b) The balance sheet and the revenue account have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and standards as specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations.

2. As required by Clause 5 (ii) (2) of the Eleventh Schedule of the Regulations, we report that the balance sheet and the revenue account are in agreement with the books of account of the Scheme.

3. As required by the Eight Schedule of the Regulations, we report that, in our opinion and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, the methods used to value non - traded securities, as at 31 March 2020, as determined by the Board of Directors of the AMC, are in accordance with the Regulations and other guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India as applicable and approved by the Board of Directors of the Trustees, are fair and reasonable.

Axis Regular Saver Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Regular Saver Fund (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its deficit and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, surplus / deficit and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the year ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

To the Trustees of Axis Mutual Fund

Axis Gilt Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Gilt Fund (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and surplus / deficit of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the year ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by Regulation 55 (4) of the Regulations, we report that:

(a) We have obtained all information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit; and

(b) The balance sheet and the revenue account have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and standards as specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations.

2. As required by Clause 5 (ii) (2) of the Eleventh Schedule of the Regulations, we report that the balance sheet and the revenue account are in agreement with the books of account of the Scheme.

Axis Credit Risk Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Credit Risk Fund (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, surplus / deficit and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the year ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

To the Trustees of Axis Mutual Fund

Axis Ultra Short Term Fund

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Ultra Short Term Fund (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and surplus / deficit of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 Management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 Management’s 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 Scheme’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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 Scheme to cease to continue as a going concern;

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.

Axis Fixed Term Plan – Series 95 (1185 Days)

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Axis Fixed Term Plan – Series 95 (1185 Days) (the ‘Scheme’) of Axis Mutual Fund, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2020 and the revenue account and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of the significant accounting policies.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matter:

ABRIDGED ANNUAL REPORT - 2019-2020Address: Axis House, 1st Floor, C-2 Wadia International Centre, Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Worli, Mumbai 400025, India.

Fair valuation of debt securities

Refer Note 2 (c) to the financial statements

• Fair valuation of debt securities is a subjective area with judgment applied in determining fair value.

• Fair valuation of debt securities requires application of valuation principles prescribed by the SEBI Regulations.

• We have identified fair valuation of debt securities as a key audit matter because of inherent subjectivity of estimates and judgement and its significance to the financial statements.

Key audit matter

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We tested investment valuation policy approved by the Trustee for its compliance with the SEBI Regulations.

• We understood, evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls around the fair valuation of debt securities.

• We checked that the prices used by the Scheme to fair value the debt securities were in accordance with the investment valuation policy.

• We evaluated judgements and estimates used while determining the fair valuation of debt securities comprising of assumptions and relevance of data sources.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Other Information

The management of Axis Asset Management Company Limited is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, surplus / deficit and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTD.)

26

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the period ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial statements give the information required by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended (the ‘Regulations’) in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Scheme as at 31 March 2020, its surplus and cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (‘SAs’) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the ‘ICAI’). Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Scheme in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in India, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with ICAI Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matter:

Fair valuation of debt securities

Refer Note 2 (c) to the financial statements

• Fair valuation of debt securities is a subjective area with judgment applied in determining fair value.

• Fair valuation of debt securities requires application of valuation principles prescribed by the SEBI Regulations.

• We have identified fair valuation of debt securities as a key audit matter because of inherent subjectivity of estimates and judgement and its significance to the financial statements.

Key audit matter

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We tested investment valuation policy approved by the Trustee for its compliance with the SEBI Regulations.

• We understood, evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls around the fair valuation of debt securities.

• We checked that the prices used by the Scheme to fair value the debt securities were in accordance with the investment valuation policy.

• We evaluated judgements and estimates used while determining the fair valuation of debt securities comprising of assumptions and relevance of data sources.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Other Information

The management of Axis Asset Management Company Limited is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The Scheme’s management, the Board of Directors of Axis Mutual Fund Trustee Limited (the ‘Trustees’) and the Board of Directors of Axis Asset Management Company Limited (the ‘AMC’) (collectively referred to as ‘Management’) are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, surplus / deficit and cash flows of the Scheme in accordance with the accounting policies and standards specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations and the accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the Regulations, the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (CONTD.)

32

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the period ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by Regulation 55 (4) of the Regulations, we report that:

(a) We have obtained all information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit; and

In preparing these financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Scheme’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 management either intends to liquidate the Scheme or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors of the Trustees and the AMC are also responsible for overseeing the Scheme’s 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 of the Scheme as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme’s internal 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 management’s 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 Scheme’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 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 Scheme 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.

Other Matter

The financial statements of the Scheme for the period ended 31 March 2019 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 28 May 2019.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. As required by Regulation 55 (4) of the Regulations, we report that:

(a) We have obtained all information and explanations which, to the best of our knowledge and belief, were necessary for the purposes of the audit; and

(b) The balance sheet and the revenue account have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies and standards as specified in the Ninth Schedule of the Regulations.

2. As required by Clause 5 (ii) (2) of the Eleventh Schedule of the Regulations, we report that the balance sheet and the revenue account are in agreement with the books of account of the Scheme.

3. As required by the Eight Schedule of the Regulations, we report that, in our opinion and on the basis of information and explanations given to us, the methods used to value non – traded securities, as at 31 March 2020, as determined by the Board of Directors of the AMC, are in accordance with the Regulations and other guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India as applicable and approved by the Board of Directors of the Trustees, are fair and reasonable.

7 Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Following the spread of the coronavirus, on 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. The spread of the coronavirus and the situation of lock-down across India in the period during the year ended and post 31 March 2020 is considered as a significant event. Management of the Axis Mutual Fund had performed an assessment of the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on the fair value of all debt investments held by its Schemes as at 31 March 2020 (the ‘Valuation Date’). Based on the management’s assessment and the information available till the Valuation Date, management of the Axis Mutual Fund believes that the fair values of the debt investments as at 31 March 2020 reflects all the conditions known till the Valuation Date. As at the date of signing of these financial statements, the COVID-19 crisis is still un-folding, and the full impact of the coronavirus is not capable of being qualitatively or quantitatively assessed on the businesses of the investee companies. Management of the Axis Mutual Fund believes that there is uncertainty around the accurate assessment of the full impact of COVID-19 crisis or any prediction regarding the future course of events that would arise due to the COVID-19 crisis. During the period subsequent to the balance sheet date, Government of India has announced stimulus packages. Reserve Bank of India has also provided measures to ensure adequate liquidity in the system. Management of Axis Mutual Fund has made attempts to ensure that adequate liquidity and quality of portfolio has been maintained. Service providers like the Registrar and Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant have carried out extensive arrangements to address business needs and continuity of operations. Though there was an impact on equity and debt markets and various Schemes of the Axis Mutual Fund faced redemptions driven by sentiment, there have been fresh inflows in Schemes of the Axis Mutual Fund even during the period of lockdown. As on the date of signing of these financial statements, management of Axis Mutual Fund believes there are no subsequent events indicating any significant impact on the operations of the Axis Mutual Fund, the going concerns of any of its Schemes for a foreseeable future and on the fair values of all debt and other investments held by all its schemes as of the Valuation Date.

8 Prior year figures have been reclassified and regrouped, wherever applicable, to conform to current year's presentation.

As these are the first financial statements of Axis Money Market Fund and Axis Retirement Savings Fund - Conservative Plan there are no prior period comparatives.

The prior period figures for Axis Overnight Fund, Axis Ultra Short Term Fund, Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 95 (1185 Days), Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 96 (1124 Days), Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 97 (1116 Days), Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 100 (1172 Days), Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 101 (1154 Days), Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 102 (1133 Days) & Axis Fixed Term Plan - Series 104 (1112 Days) are for a period of less than one year and hence are not comparable to the current year.
