Auditor Concerns
The statutory auditors have issued a qualified opinion on the unaudited financial results, highlighting two key issues:
- The company has not received interest on an inter-corporate deposit of Rs 200 lakhs given to Aryav Exports Private Limited since July 2017.
- If provisions were made for this outstanding balance, the company's net owned funds would fall below the limits prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for NBFCs.
The auditors noted that these issues may affect Dharani Finance's ability to continue as an NBFC and as a going concern. The company's future operations may depend on capital infusion to meet minimum net owned funds criteria and identification of alternative business plans.
Management Response
The management has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. The company continues to recognize revenue and conduct operations as usual.

Dharani Finance operates primarily in the financial services segment. For Q2 FY26, the segment reported:
- Revenue: Rs 33.04 lakhs
