Audit Concerns and Non-Verifiability
The auditors cited several material issues that led to the Disclaimer of Opinion, focusing on the complex nature of post-CIRP operations and corporate transfers:- Non-Verifiable Opening Balances: A key concern was the inability to independently verify the opening balances of various assets and liabilities as at April 1, 2025. This included secured and unsecured borrowings, trade payables and sundry creditors, trade receivables and sundry debtors, cash and cash equivalents, fixed assets, and associated depreciation, due to the process under the CIRP.
- Lack of Supporting Documentation: The auditors noted a consistent lack of complete records. For instance, certain expenses charged for the half year ended March 31, 2026, lacked invoices and supporting documents, preventing verification of their nature or accuracy. Similarly, investment write-offs were recorded in the books, but no documentation confirming the basis of those write-offs was provided.
- Creditor Claims: The company received claims from financial and operational creditors during the CIRP. While amounts claimed and admitted are documented in the results (e.g., a total of 145,893,783 lakhs for all creditor categories), verification of the settlement or extinguishment of these liabilities was not possible due to missing supporting documents.
- Going Concern Uncertainty: The auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern, noting that the negative net worth resulted primarily from the implementation of the Resolution Plan.
