Audit Qualifications and Risks
The auditors qualified their opinion regarding the company's corporate guarantees to Amrit Jal Ventures Private Limited and its subsidiary. Lenders have invoked guarantees aggregating to ₹25,619.80 lakh, with claims of ₹17,820.89 lakh outstanding. The company has disclosed this as a contingent liability, but the auditors stated that the liability ought to have been recognised in the books, which would increase the loss for the year by ₹17,820.89 lakh.
Furthermore, the auditors emphasised that the preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis is not appropriate due to substantial exposures to entities where loans, guarantees, or investments have been adversely affected. The management stated it is identifying alternatives to revive the company. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed the company to surrender its Certificate of Registration for voluntary deregistration as an NBFC due to non-maintenance of minimum Net Owned Funds; the company has filed a writ petition in the Hon'ble High Court of Telangana against this notice, and an interim stay is in force.
The trading window for dealing in equity shares, which was closed from April 1, 2026, will reopen 48 hours after the declaration of the audited financial results.
