In compliance of the provisions of section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013, other applicable provisions of the Act, the Companies (Appointment and Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014, the Board of Directors at their meeting held on dated May 30, 2024, appointed M/s.

The Secretarial Audit Report of Financial year 2024-25 is attached as an Annexure - 1.
The Secretarial Audit Report contain following observation:
i. The Company has made export sales of Rs 69.24 Lacs to a Party which has not realized within 9 months of the date of export. The company has not applied to AD Bank for extension of the time limit of export realization. Non-realization of export proceeds within a period of 9 months from the date of export of goods leads to non-compliance as per Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2015.
In repose to the same, the Board clarifies that the delay in realization of export proceeds was due to commercial reasons beyond the control of the Company. The management is actively pursuing the matter with the concerned overseas party to ensure realization of the pending export receivables at the earliest.
Further, the Board has directed the management to strengthen its monitoring mechanism to ensure timely realization of export proceeds in future and to seek necessary approvals/extensions from the Authorized Dealer Bank within the stipulated timeframe wherever required, so that such non-compliance does not recur.
ii. The Company has reversed Input Tax Credit of Rs. 28.98 Lakhs in the books of accounts due to non-payment of creditors for more than 180 days. However, the said GST input tax credit has not been reversed on the GST portal. To that extent, a difference exists between the GST balance as per the books and the GST balance as per the GST portal.
The Board has taken note of the observation relating to reversal of Input Tax Credit (ITC) of ^28.98 Lakhs in the books of accounts due to non-payment of creditors beyond 180 days, without a corresponding reversal on the GST portal. The management is in the process of initiating corrective action to ensure that the reversal is appropriately reflected on the GST portal so that statutory records are aligned with the books of accounts. The Board has advised the management to implement stricter controls to ensure timely compliance with GST requirements going forward.
iii. The Company has not provided with balance confirmations of major debtors and creditors. We have performed substantive procedures. However, the balances of debtors and creditors, including advances from customers and advances to suppliers, are subject to reconciliation and confirmation from the respective parties.
The Board has noted the observation regarding non-availability of balance confirmations from certain major debtors and creditors. The management is in the process of obtaining confirmations and carrying out reconciliations with respective parties to ensure accuracy and completeness of the balances. The Board has further directed the management to strengthen internal procedures to
ensure that balance confirmations are obtained and reconciled on a timely basis in future.
iv. The Company has accepted advances for the supply of goods from 13 parties, amounting to Rs. 49.27 Lakhs. However, such advances have not been appropriated against the supply of goods within a period of three hundred and sixty-five days from the date of acceptance, which constitutes a contravention of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013.
The Board has noted the observation regarding advances amounting to ?49.27 Lakhs accepted from 13 parties which have not been adjusted against the supply of goods within 365 days from the date of acceptance, thereby attracting the provisions of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013. The management is in the process of reconciling these advances with the respective parties and taking necessary steps to either adjust them against supplies or refund the same, as applicable. The Board has further directed the management to strengthen monitoring and compliance mechanisms to ensure that such advances are appropriated or refunded within the stipulated timelines in the future.

BOARDâS COMMENT ON THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORSâ REPORT
In the report of the Independent Auditors for the year ended March 31, 2025, forming part of this Annual Report, the Auditors have given following observations: -
(a) The Company has accepted advances for the supply of goods from 13 parties amounts to Rs 49.27 Lakhs but such advance has not been appropriated against supply of goods within a period of three hundred and sixty-five days from the date of acceptance of such advances which is a contravention of Section 73 of the Companies Act, 2013.
(b) The Company has reversed Input Tax Credit of Rs 28.98 lakhs in the books of accounts due to non-payment of creditors for more than 180 days. However, the said GST input tax credit has not been reversed on the GST portal. To that extent, there exists a difference between the GST balance as per Books and GST balance as per GST portal.
(c) We have not been provided with Balance Confirmations of Major Debtors and Creditors. We have performed substantive procedures. However, Balances of Debtors and Creditors including Advances from customer and Advances to Suppliers are subject to reconciliation/ confirmation from parties.
(d) The Company has made export sales of Rs 69.24 Lacs to a Party which has not realized within 9 months of the date of export. The company has not applied to AD Bank for extension of the time limit of export realization. Non-realization of export proceeds within a period of 9 months from the date of export of goods leads to non-compliance as per Regulation 9(1) of the Foreign Exchange Management (Export of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2015.
In relation to the observations referred above, the point wise submissions of the Board are as under:
1. The Advance from Customers were in the nature of dealer deposit. However, in absence of planned production including capital expansion the documents remained unexecuted during the year which will be executed in the current year on the achievement of its production capacity. The Company is taking active steps to realise outstanding export proceeds overdue from overseas customer. However, due to international world over instability, the money has stuck up. Further, the company had attempted to get the balance confirmation from vendors and customers however majority are still awaited. The company is doing best efforts to obtain. Regarding the reversal of GST on GST portal, this is expected to be matched in this half year.
2. in realization of export proceeds was due to commercial reasons beyond the control of the Company. The management is actively pursuing the matter with the concerned overseas party to ensure realization of the pending export receivables at the earliest.
The Board has directed the management to strengthen its monitoring mechanism to ensure timely realization of export proceeds in future and to seek necessary approvals/extensions from the Authorized Dealer Bank within the stipulated timeframe wherever required, so that such non-compliance does not recur.
Other observations and opinions of the Statutory Auditors in their report are self-explanatory and they do not call for any further explanation as required under section 134 of the Companies Act, 2013.
