Maxgrow India Limited (formerly known as Frontline Business Solutions Limited), listed on BSE Limited, submitted its Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2021 to the exchange on May 05, 2026, in compliance with Regulation 34 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The delayed filing is directly attributable to the company's Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), which had suspended normal governance and compliance activities for an extended period. The Annual Report, presented as the company's 28th, covers business and financial operations for the year ended March 31, 2021.
Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process: Key Milestones
The CIRP was initiated pursuant to an order dated June 04, 2021 passed by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench. Upon initiation, the adjudicating authority appointed Shri Mayank Rameshchandra Jain as Interim Resolution Professional (IRP), who was subsequently confirmed as Resolution Professional (RP) by the Committee of Creditors (CoC). The Board of Directors' powers were suspended and vested with the RP for the duration of the process.

Governance, Audit, and Compliance
During FY 2020-21, the Board met four times — on July 31, 2020; September 04, 2020; November 14, 2020; and February 13, 2021 — with all three directors attending all meetings. The Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and Stakeholders Relationship Committee each met four times during the year, with full attendance recorded.
On the auditor front, M/s. B. N. Kedia & Co., Chartered Accountants, were originally appointed as Statutory Auditors but could not complete the audit for FY 2020-21 due to the CIRP. Subsequently, M/s. ASAT & Associates (FRN: 130701W) were appointed as Statutory Auditors on May 10, 2024 for the FY 2020-21 audit. The Board appointed M/s. Abhay Kumar Pal & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, on April 03, 2026 to carry out the Secretarial Audit for the five financial years from April 01, 2020 to March 31, 2025. Total fees paid to Statutory Auditors for FY 2020-21 amounted to ₹1 Lakhs.
The Secretarial Audit Report for FY 2020-21 carries a disclaimer of opinion, citing inability to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence due to the CIRP. Key non-compliances noted include the non-appointment of an Internal Auditor, delays in filing of quarterly compliance reports, shareholding patterns, financial results, and reconciliation reports with BSE, non-maintenance of a functional website, failure to publish financial results in newspapers within prescribed timelines, and non-maintenance of the Structured Digital Database under SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015. The management has acknowledged these observations, attributing the delays and non-compliances primarily to the ongoing CIRP and management transition, and has stated that steps have been initiated to regularise pending compliances.
