Auditor Observations
B. P. Shah & Co., the statutory auditors, issued a modified opinion on the standalone financial results. The report highlighted that the company has not established internal financial controls over financial reporting based on criteria laid down in the Guidance Note issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Consequently, the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the adequacy of these internal controls as of March 31, 2026.
Exceptional Items and Liabilities
The financial statements include an exceptional item of ₹5.69 lakh, representing the estimated incremental impact on retiral benefits due to the new Labour Codes notified by the Government of India. The company faces several contingent liabilities, including a service tax demand of ₹7.17 crore for the period 2009 to 2017, which is under appeal, and a State GST demand of ₹14.13 lakh for FY 2017-18. Additionally, the company received an income tax demand of ₹16.57 lakh for Assessment Year 2020-21, against which it has preferred an appeal.
