Auditor's 'Other Matter' Paragraph: Loan Repayment Concern

While the statutory auditors issued an unmodified opinion on the annual financial results, they included a notable 'Other Matter' paragraph in their report. The auditors observed that during the year, loan accounts of three borrowers aggregating Rs. 145.47 Lacs were repaid by Mr. Vijay Kothari, a director acting as guarantor in a personal capacity, rather than by the borrowers themselves. The auditors noted that the source of funds of the guarantor was not independently verified and flagged that this may indicate stress in the borrowers' financial position and a potential risk of evergreening. The matter was highlighted as requiring further verification regarding the source of funds and appropriate asset classification as per RBI guidelines.

The company's notes to the financial results also disclosed that two of the three borrower accounts are under the NPA category, and the guarantor paid the loan amounts of Rs. 145.47 Lakhs during the year.
