Audit Qualifications and Impact

BJS and Associates, Chartered Accountants, issued a qualified audit opinion with six specific qualifications:

  • Trade Receivables: Gross trade receivables of ₹39.86 Crore are outstanding since prior to Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) commencement, remaining unpaid for over three years. No Expected Credit Loss (ECL) has been recognized against these receivables, potentially overstating trade receivables and understating losses. Impact not quantified.
  • Bank Balances and Other Current Assets: Balances aggregating ₹0.95 Crore (bank balances) and ₹22.93 Crore (other current assets) lack independent confirmations and adequate documentation. These pertain to pre-CIRP periods and remain unreconciled. Recoverability and carrying value could not be substantiated. Impact not determined.
  • Impairment Assessment: The Group has not conducted impairment assessment of assets despite prolonged suspension of production activities during CIRP and subsequent liquidation process. Potential impairment loss under Ind AS 36 not determined.
  • Sale Proceeds Distribution: After e-auction proceedings where ₹78 Crore was received from successful bidders (Electrify Energy Pvt Ltd in consortium with Mr. Rakesh R Shah), NCLT awarded relief to new management on November 5, 2024. STCI Finance Limited challenged this in NCLAT, which dismissed appeals and empowered NCLT to decide on distribution. STCI has further appealed to Supreme Court. Pending final distribution order, appropriate accounting treatment of write back/write off of dues cannot be determined.
  • Deferred Tax: The Group has not recognized deferred tax expense/income and corresponding deferred tax liability/asset arising from temporary differences as required under Ind AS 12. Impact not determined.
  • Employee Benefits: The Group has not carried out actuarial valuation of employee benefit obligations (gratuity and leave encashment) as at March 31, 2026, as required under Ind AS 19. Impact on employee benefit obligations, expense, and deferred tax not determined.
